Livingstone Park

Park

👍👍 Great little park. Fenced in to allow kids to play with little risk of getting onto the road (which is not high traffic anyway). But people need to do do a better job at closing the gate when they open it, maybe the city could install a spring which closes automatically? Anyway, great park for litt...

UTSC Valley

Park

👍👍 It was Sunday morning, it was very quiet and peaceful. The scenery of the trail along the Highland Creek was very picturesque. Part of the trail was under construction and was closed. The Miller Lash House was beautiful. The trail connects to Morningside Park in the west and connects to the Lower Hi...

L'Amoreaux Park

👍 Large park with community centre, playgrounds and other sport facilities. Nice area to go for a walk if you're in the area in Scarborough. There's some natural wildlife along the streams and ponds. There's also an area for barbecuing and picnics.

Brick and Pebble Beach

Park

👍👍 I love the bluffs and ventured here on foot from Bluffers park when the water level was low (note that this was a mild day in mid February and I wore rubber boots!) This is a scenic, hidden gem off the bluffs. Not sure it's accessible by foot during summer. Worth a look, cool bricks and clear water...

Etobicoke Valley Park North

Park

👍👍 A hidden gem of a place that will most likely get more busy when the construction from the south is completed. This is a beautiful slice of nature in a very urban portion of the suburbs. Always a pleasure to explore the beautiful nature.

Old Orchard Park

Park

👍👍 It's a wonderful playground for kids, even with the pandemic. It has a great grassy area, but two minor concerns are the small tunnel under the tiny bridge, and some of the kids there are troubling. Then again, I definitely look a bit too much like tween to say that the kids will approach anyone :P

Wilket Creek Recreational Trail

Park

👍👍 I went for walking in Edwards Gardens where I got to know this trail. I saw people going and coming back. That made me decide to walk in the trail too. It was interesting because I saw a bird not so typical in my eyes. First thing that caught my eyes was the tree in different shape. I thought, it wa...
