  • 5/5 Nathan G. H. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 71 reviews
    One of the best parks in Toronto. With cityscape views, a full 400 m running track, the best toboggan and training hill. You'll have picnics, play tennis, go swimming, workout jungle gym and with plenty of shaded areas. Accessibility by streetcar and parking within neighborhood streets.

    One of my favourite parks in Toronto. Amazing in every season and also for dogs to run off leash. In the winter you can go tabogonning. I love that it bridges over to Riverdale Park East and the DVP Trail on one end and on the other it connects to Riverdale Farm. This are is amazing to jog, ski, hike, take your dog, have a picnic, play sports games. Gorgeous views of the city and a reminder of the greenery around us in the City.

    Came here with my friends for a potluck. We watched the sun go down on the Toronto skyline. The lights at night are magical. I'm from small towns and have been sad because the parks here leave me wanting but Riverdale Park sparked joy, seeing all the beautiful green trees and the green grass. Loved it.

    Very beautiful little park with a little ecosystem to see some really beautiful nature in the city. Some farm animals that all have their own personalities. The place is well maintained and there are many things to see. When you sre there you can almost forget you are in a huge city.

    Riverdale Park West in Toronto is a true urban oasis. The lush greenery and open spaces offer a perfect escape from city life. With a stunning view of the city skyline, it's a haven for picnics, leisurely strolls, and outdoor activities. This park beautifully combines nature and urban living, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a breath of fresh air in the heart of Toronto. πŸŒ³πŸ™οΈπŸŒž

    Toronto’s greatest assets are our parks, this one fits Toronto perfectly, ball parks, tons of open green ground for dogs to exercise lower park, upper park has a farm with cows & horses & with amazing views of Victorian Cabbagetown neighborhood & downtown Toronto. The stairs up the hill is on everyone’s exercise bucket list

    Lots of well-behaved animals (they're just eating all the time though), not too crowded either. It's hard to get a good picture with a regular phone camera, I would recommend bringing something with good zoom.

    Riverdale Park West is a delightful green space located in the heart of Toronto, offering a wonderful respite from the urban environment. This park is a favorite among locals and visitors for several reasons. The panoramic views of the city skyline, especially at sunset, are simply breathtaking. The rolling hills, lush greenery, and mature trees create a serene and picturesque setting.

    Beautiful park. Plus, they have a farm.

  • 5/5 rhon de g. 3 years ago on Google β€’ 35 reviews
    We walked, played and have a picnic here almost everyday. Probably all season long, with the covid lockdown, we managed to have a quick walk every morning to avoid crowds. Summer 2020 - we hang here a lot and just be aware of the "off dog leash " area, they roamed around in this green park so just be cautious with dogs running around. Parking is quite a hassle, we just walked often and avoid to use car because of the parking . The area is a massive park and over looking downtown too. Very good at night time too.

    I saved on google map and saw this park on the way to Taste of Danforth and I went there yesterday. What an amazing view and relax for everyone! Really love it where you see sunset and peacefulπŸŒ±πŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

    Every nature space is a five star experience for me! This one has a little farm that you can visit, two baseball diamonds, and a farmer's market (on certain days). There is a bridge that goes over the DVP and connects to Riverdale Park East. You can also connect to the Don Valley trail via the same bridge. There is a little shop where you can get coffee and treats. It's also minutes from Parliament street, so easy access to those shops as well. Lots of green space with trees, benches, and a splash pad.

  • 5/5 Robert M. 10 months ago on Google
    A great place to exercise baseball is the big sport here. The stairs are great muscle builders. To many staurs you can walk up the paved path. Either way their is a bench to rest your aching legs or catch your breath. The paved path in the lower part is well lit all night long. Not so much the fields

  • 5/5 Karla P. 6 months ago on Google
    This is my favourite spot to see Toronto skyline. The park is always so clean and big. In winter, this park has great hills for sledding

  • 5/5 Jimmy W. 9 months ago on Google
    Compare to the east side of the park, there is not as much people here and more cosy. We love bringing our dog here to let him run around freely. Water fountain is working and provides water for dogs as well.

  • 5/5 Jennifer R. 10 months ago on Google
    Birthday party here...Saturdays very popular for the surrounding neighborhood...so can make parking a little tricky Splash pad, playground and lots of grassy areas and trees...

  • 5/5 Hitesh P. 1 year ago on Google

Riverdale farm is also here to have some activities with children and to enjoy horse, cows, goats etc.would love to go here frequently. They have washroom facility as well.Clean and well maintained park.

  • 5/5 Wesley M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing park to watch the sunset and have a picnic. And just take a walk through the path on the edge of the park. πŸ§ΊπŸŒ‡

  • 5/5 Bill B. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite spot in the city. I call it my backyard. In one of the best neighborhoods in the city. It's the perfect spot for families and friends to gather especially if your family has a four legged member. A huge open space for off leash fun with your dog and a community of other responsible dog lovers and their friends. A shared space for sports and picnics and the working farm with all the animals for kids of all ages and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city without having to leave the city.

  • 5/5 Rigved D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful park. Night time you get a very beautiful view of the toronto downtown skyline.

  • 4/5 ImΓ¨ne EL G. 1 year ago on Google
    The farm was closed when I came. But we can see horses and cows by the distance. In front of the farm there is water games for little kids.

  • 5/5 Florent P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing view of the skyline of Toronto ! Definitely the place to go if you just arrived in Toronto and want to watch an mazing sunset. You can sit on a bench and just loose yourself in the view. Other thing nice is in winter, bring your sledge and go sledding down the hills when it's snowing. You'll definitely have a lot of fun !!

  • 5/5 Elisa L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to toboggan in snow times. Either your dog will have fun in the off leash area. Very good for all.

  • 4/5 Arunava M. 2 years ago on Google
    Either play or just sit on the sidelines to enjoy the cityscape.. Enough grounds to accommodate 2 soccer fields

  • 5/5 Jackie A. 2 years ago on Google
    We come here frequently, especially in the summer! For parking, you’d have to park on the streets. The park has picnic tables but bring your own picnic table or chairs. I’ve seen many people hosts birthday parties at the park! There is a farm zoo, ice cream trucks, ice cream shop, baseball field and a wading pool! It is a perfect place to tire your kids out haha. We would start with the farm, then have lunch and then enjoy the wading pool. I highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Hajinbsho 2 years ago on Google
    Its free! cute pigs and chickens. Great farm considering its middle of the city.

  • 5/5 Crystal E. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park. Very peaceful at night. Diring the day it is filled with families. Its my favorite park near the downtown core because it is so family oriented. Tons of benches and picnic tables, a wading pool, washrooms, and Riverdale farms is attached. A great place for a picnic, dog walking,or to read a book. Absolutely love this place!!

  • 4/5 Kirk E. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this park it's always just a little bit too busy with off leash dogs. Don't say anything though the owners are very sensitive and will tear you a new one. So if our little ones are concerned with dogs running up to them, be on guard.

  • 5/5 Donny 3 years ago on Google
    A little paradise in the border of downtown and the east side of Toronto. Beautiful space to let your dog have freedom and meet other dogs in a spacious off leash area, and for people to play sports and exercise, meet friends and relax in the summer or have a blast tobboganing down the hill during winter!

  • 5/5 Heather C. 2 years ago on Google
    It gets a little crowded sometimes, but that's because it's one of the best views in the city. The amenities are fine (tennis courts, skating rinks, pool, track, ping pong) but what makes this park stand out is the sunsets.

  • 5/5 Laura L. 2 years ago on Google
    My dog absolutely adores this park! Perfect place to be for humans and their Best friends.

  • 5/5 Leo Twin F. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of my all time favorite parks in the city. Both sides of the park with the beautiful hills are astonishing. I did my meditation there yesterday while looking at Toronto skyline and bathing with the sun rays. Magnificent place to connect with Mother earth. πŸ™β€
