Heading out to the Toronto Island is one the best ways to spend a lazy summer afternoon. Something magical occurs as soon as you step onto the ferry. Stress melts out your pores and your mind is transported to vacation-mode. The pace of life slows…More »

Most Torontonians know about the many attractions in and around the Yonge and 'Eligible' area. In addition to the restaurants, movie theatres, and bars is a massive park.

The many amenities include: 2 baseball diamonds separated by a generous field,…More »

I grew up near this park, and it will always be one of my favourite spots in the city. (Despite a few traumatizing toboggan runs involving ice patches on my trusty blue magic carpet.) It's a decent size - lots of space to do nearly any activity…More »

Many hardcore urban dwellers would be shocked to know that there is a quarry near the heart of the city. Anyone who drives along the Don Valley is aware of how gorgoues the area is - especially during the fall when all of the leaves display an…More »

Those who claim Toronto lacks greenery won't know what hit them when they see Rogue Park for the first time! It is as close to the wilderness as you're gonna find near an urban centre.

To be honest, I haven't visited since I was little, but my…More »

I've only been to the Bluffs a few times (I'm more of a west-side girl). The area is gorgeous and unlike anything in Toronto.

The Blufffs are an escarpment along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. Bluffer's Park is great to wander around and there's…More »

It's the largest of Toronto many parks and parkettes. There are lots of community activities happening all year-round; including walking tours and Naturalists Clubs.

In the wintertime, its a great location for making snow angels (Warning: stay clear…More »

I have a love - hate relationship with this park. I love how close by it is to some of my favourite spots in the city. I love the Fish and Chip place across on Queen http://www.yelp.ca/biz...

The hate comes from the inability to read a book in peace,…More »
