Get Outside

Nice parks in the city for when you want to eat outside

1. High Park

Toronto, ON M6P 3K7

Categories: Parks, Zoos, Playgrounds

Neighbourhood: High Park

5/20/2011

How has no one reviewed HIGH PARK yet?!?

The first time I came here was for "The Dream in High Park" -- CanStage summer Shakespeare performances. The classic, of course, is "Midsummer Night's Dream" but also they've also done "Romeo and Juliet" and…More »

2. Christie Pits Park

Toronto, ON M6G

Category: Parks

Neighbourhood: Christie Pits

5/20/2011

I still remember learning about the Christie Pitts riot in grade 9 history class and to this day I can't visit this park without thinking about it.

But anyways, this park is A-OK! It's not the place to go for a peaceful afternoon, but it is fun to…More »

3. Queen's Park

110 Wellesley St W
Toronto, ON M7A 1A2

Category: Parks

Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, University of Toronto, Downtown Core

5/20/2011

Queen's Park is small, but you can't beat the central location. When I used to work in the area, my co-workers and I would regularly eat lunch here. They have a few picnic tables and it's always easy to find a nice, shady spot. Compared to other…More »

4. Toronto Music Garden

475 Queen's Quay
Toronto, ON M5V 3G3

Categories: Botanical Gardens, Parks

5/20/2011

This is a lovely garden designed by Yoyo Ma on the south side of Queens Quay. Most tourists don't wander further west than the Harbourfront Centre or HTO Park, so this place is usually nice and quiet, even in the summer. There are lots of private…More »

5. Bellevue Square Park

5 Bellevue Ave
Toronto, ON M5T 2N4

Category: Parks

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

5/20/2011

Yeah, this park in the heart of Kensington is a lil' rough around the edges, but it is a good spot to eat the empanadas or other delicious snack you picked up in the market (because so many places, e.g. agave y aguacate don't have much seating). The…More »

6. Cloud Gardens

333 Bay St
Toronto, ON M4W 1A7

Category: Parks

Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core

6/8/2011

A tiny green space in the Financial core, great for an afternoon stroll or eating lunch on the go. The waterfall adds a nice touch and there are plenty of places to sit and people-watch. This place is popular with office workers during the day, but I…More »
