Nice place to visit and enjoy a cup of coffee from the local coffee shops.

Approximately one billion years old, “The Rock” weighs 650 tons and represents the roots of an ancient mountain range that has long since eroded. The rock was removed in pieces from the Canadian glacial shield and transported in huge fragments on 20 flatbed trailers to Toronto’s Yorkville Park. As each rock section arrived, it was reassembled to minimize visible joints, although gaps remain which give the stone the look of a tectonic puzzle.

Took time to pause and admire the huge rocks transported from the Canadian glaciers. The whole mass is made of different rocks joined in such a way that it looks natural and crater like. Said to be approx a billion years old, the Rocks had my awe and reverence. Sat in the tables near the fountain to admire the rocks on a hot sunny August day

Wonderfull place. But I won't say peaceful. No one disturbs you. Best place for couples and families. It is located in the food street areas. Get a coffee from starbucks and enjoy your evening..

Interesting place to go to. Rest your feet and have a drink alone. Or with friends.

Long live the rock! Great place to hang out, just grab some food/drinks and enjoy your time while sitting on a huge rock in a fancy neighbourhood. I don’t think anyone ever restricts access to the rock, so you can come here in all weather conditions at any time of the day

This rock is millions of years old. It’s been here since Toronto was inhabited by dinosaurs. It’s a shame John Tory tore down all the other rocks in the city.

It's a rock. What else can you say? LoL

Sadly site under construction. No security around and homeless person ruined the atmosphere.

I went today to see the ice sculptures. It was very nice it was freezing but it was really nice to see it was beautiful Creations. I look forward to 2024's ice Sculpture show.

The "rock" hosted both the Jazz festival AND a mariachi band. Trumpets galore! We were dancing in the street, people watching and got to see lots of fancy cars. We had drinks here too. Fun way to spend an hour or two.

Regular big rock, usually with lots of people on it. Doesn't have a washroom and wheel chair access. Can get crowded. No menu, so you get what you get. Best during the day, or late at night. Great for dancing or chilling, but millage may vary. No patio, but near by chairs and tables, first come first serve. Relatively clean. No smoking area. Open 24 hours. 3/5 stars, would visit again.

1 billion year old rock from Canadian shield. Fascinating !

10/10 excellent place to people watch and crush afternoon "beverages".

Very beautiful European style streets with a lot of tiny or big stores.

Beautiful giant rock in the middle of the city. Lovely to sit on or stare at while sitting down around the rock. Not slippery at all. Must see highlight of Toronto. Would recommend everyone to go see it!

Loved Moskitto Bar playing in Yorkville.

I come by here every afternoon to eat my lunch here. Fantastic relaxing place to be.

During winters it is a place for ice sculptures

One of the best places in downtown to seat and relax

Great convenient little area in the Yorkville neighborhood...

Favourite play to sit or play, especially kids.

Kids climb it over and over. Families picnic on top. It's fun to sit nearby and watch.

Relaxed atmosphere and a good spot to unwind!

Grab and coffee and sit on the rock. Just a relaxing place to be.
