Toronto Music
Garden is located along Toronto’s Harbourfront in downtown Toronto, located at 475 Queen's
Quay West on the waterfront between Bathurst Street and Spadina Avenue.
This park is called a “Music Garden”
because the landscape was designed to reflect Bach’s Suite No. 1 in G Major. It
was designed by famous international cellist Yo Yo Ma and landscape designer
Julie Moir Messery. For more information on the unique design, click the link

The music garden is best
known for its Summer Music in the Garden performances and its audio guided
tours which happen between June until September. The garden is also perfect for any flower or garden lover,
as it boasts a vast array of plant species and wildlife.
Although the
park is significantly quieter during March, the park is open all year around
and is the perfect time to explore the paths and musical landscape of the
garden. Sitting right at the waters edge makes for breathtaking and peaceful
views. If you are looking for more recreational activities, just to the east of
the park sits Harbourfront center
and the Natrel skating rink as well
as many restaurants. Who wouldn’t love to skate and eat right on the
waterfront?

Environmental Tip: The Toronto Music Garden and Harbourfront center
are located just a short walk from Union Station. Instead of wasting gas by driving, take the TTC or go bus to Toronto’s oldest train station and enjoy the
wonderful sights and sounds of the waterfront as you walk to the garden.
