    With the changing colors of the foliage, this park is very ideal for wedding photos as we did. It's a perfect backdrop. I heard from our party that the host had to pay for tickets in order to use the park for photo opportunities. So while we were taking photos, a roving security asked for our permit, which of course, the host secured prior. So be mindful of that requirement.

    Amazing place for nature trails. It's absolutely magical in fall. Parking is limited and you can easily park in the Humber College Parking on weekends. On weekdays you need to pay at Humber College reception for parking. If you are a nature lover then this place is for you. Humber College parking is just across the street from the park. Highly recommended

    Humber Arboretum is a great place to visit if you want to get away from the city life and don't have enough time on to travel away from the city. It has some wonderful trails and flower beds. The place is big enough to enjoy some alone time. I have been here a few times but recently discovered the sunset point.

    Used to go to Humber years back and I haven't had the chance to visit the arboretum. Went here with my mum for the fall season. Looks absolutely gorgeous. She loved it so much! There's not a lot of people around and if there are they're polite and quiet.

    Discovery Walks - City of Toronto: Humber Arboretum and West Humber River - West Humber Recreational Trail It was an 8 km walk around the West Humber Recreational Trail starting at the Humber Arboretum. One can see Humber College in the background and the trail goes along the campus. The Humber River is another important watershed west of Toronto. Trees in the Humber Arboretum have already changed colours in early October and they were spectacular. The Humber Arboretum is an important conservation area in the West Humber watershed. It also has a lovely garden where one can identify the flowers and plants.

    Serene place in Etobicoke. Just behind the Humber College so it has good connectivity to public transport as college is there. It's a beautiful place with various flora and fauna and very well kept and maintained very neatly. Pets can be taken as I have seen people with their pets and also saw some professional photoshoot which needs permission. Lotus πŸͺ· and various other flowers make it extremely beautiful. We went in starting September and it was all colorful.

    I absolutely love this park! It's a serene oasis right in the heart of the city. Whether I'm taking a leisurely stroll, or just sitting on a bench enjoying the peaceful ambiance, this park never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a little slice of nature within the city.

    PARKING ISSUE RESOLUTION (read below) The Arboretum is a very nice quiet location with plenty of flowers, sitting areas, trails, and great photo opportunities. In fact there was a large wedding party taking their pre-wedding photos today. Parking: Many of the reviews of this place are about the parking difficulties. The Definitive Solution about parking (because I asked and they answered): 1. You go to the Learning Resource Center to get a temporary parking pass. They give you a blue card stamped with the date and the officer's initials. 2. You then go to Lot 1 (closest entry to the Arboretum) and at the gate arm, hit the INFO button. Tell the calling attendant you have a temporary pass and they remotely raise the arm. Done Yes that's a lot more than you should have to do and not an elegant solution. But parking for the Arboretum is free.

    A very beautiful and well maintained botanical garden with flower beds, ponds, benches, groomed pathways, branching paths to forested areas bordering the Humber river. Peaceful. Nature. Warning - Little to no parking unless you are staff or students. Available parking lots, and the bus platforms, are in front of Humber College, atleast 500m away.

    The place is good for a light walk. It is very beautiful at this time of the year with so many lovely flowers and varieties of plant. There are trail and bike paths however I wish there were better signage. It is pretty common to spot squirrels and lotus in the pond. Beautiful spot to escape from the city. They have ample parking on weekend.

    Went for a hike here with my sister and mother. Beautiful scenery of nature within the city area. Very well maintained and clean. Disappointed with the visitors who litter at practically every park bench even though garbage cans are plenty and only 2m away. As we leave, we had to pick up all the trash. If you enjoy our parks and love nature then make sure you look after them.

  • 5/5 Annalise 10 months ago on Google β€’ 29 reviews
    Absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Easy paved paths with beautiful flowers, a pond, and some water features. Nice for a garden walk or for photography. Some trails go into less manicured forest for longer hikes. Busy on Saturday due to events, mostly wedding photos. Less busy on Sunday. Free parking on weekends

  • 5/5 Clerisa V. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 27 reviews
    Really calming and serene. Excellent for a walk or to bike. Can get a little secluded during night light, so strongly recommend daylight.

  • 4/5 Daryll V. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 22 reviews
    Great for walking. The trails are good and it’s a nice venue to take pre wedding pictures as well. Might be dangerous during winter because there is no winter maintenance but it is still open for hiking at our own risk. It’s free and good for people who love nature walks.

    Amazing place to visit!! The Arboretum connects to trails, the West Number River Recreational Trail. First time here. Went here with my family for the fall season. Looks absolutely gorgeous. We loved it so much! There's not a lot of people around and if there are they're polite and quiet. A very beautiful and garden, a lot of plants and flowers. Very pleasant flower fragrances, very Asian lotus and red fish in the pond. Very tranquil and peaceful.

    Gorgeous, colorful flowers in a beautifully designed and manicured garden. Short trails around the park. Finding parking on weekdays might get a little tricky due to students but should be fine if you’re there on weekends

  • 5/5 Ashok T. 10 months ago on Google
    A Place of natural conservation of birds, bunnies and full of short but intense hikes. Sunset point is amazing too.

  • 5/5 Molly 11 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful spot! You feel like you are far away from the city but you're right beside it. Seen a swan pruning itself on a nest and found the most beautiful tree with a natural bench made from one of the drooping branches which makes for a perfect place to stop and take a break/ picnic or pose up for some pictures.
