Toronto Music Garden


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 below:

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.
