    Seeing the Cherry Blossoms in Toronto’s High Park

    The highly anticipated cherry blossom bloom has begun in Toronto so I took Darcie to High Park on her afternoon walk today. These delicate and ephemeral flowers, known as Sakura in Japanese, attract thousands of visitors each year who come to marvel at their beauty. The cherry blossom trees in High Park were a gift…

    Update: August 17, 2020 At the end of July, Toronto moved into in Stage 3 of reopening which includes the city’s playgrounds.

  • Sheldon Lookout in Humber Bay Park

    There is a view of the city so beautiful in Humber Bay Park that if this was New York, everyone would be telling visitors you must pay a visit to Sheldon Lookout. The vistas of the city skyline and Humber Bay are stunning. A gift to the city from the Sheldon family, it sits on…

  • Marie Curtis Park in Etobicoke

    Marie Curtis Park in Etobicoke

    This southwest Toronto park underwent a massive revitalization for summer 2013. I love Marie Curtis Park because of it’s proximity to the waterfront and all the huge beautiful trees that surround it. My little man loves it because of the crazy fun splash pad and wading pool. The non-water park of the playground is pretty…

  • Mimico Memorial Park in Etobicoke

    When it’s this hot out, you want to find the Toronto parks with splash pads. One of our favourites is Mimico Memorial Park. What’s lovely about this park besides the great splash area is all the green space to run around and the massive beautiful trees. It’s tucked in a leafy area off Royal York,…

  • Toronto Sculpture Garden: Gold, Silver & Lead

    Right now, there is a stack of Honda Civics piled up in the Toronto Sculpture Garden. Gold, Silver & Lead, the free park’s current exhibit, is very cool. The Toronto Sculpture Garden was established in 1981, making it one of the city’s oldest public art spaces. It was a collaboration between the City of Toronto…

  • Woburn Park Wading Pool in Lawrence Park

    Summer 2012 has been hot hot hot and we’ve been touring the splash pads and wading pools throughout the city. Some of the best ones are nestled in little neighbourhood parkettes like the Woburn playground at Yonge and Lawrence. This wading pool is lovely because it’s shaded by lots of huge old trees and it’s…

  • Sir Casimir Gzowski Park Playground in Toronto

    There’s an amazing playground on the Lake Shore that ticks off most of the boxes I look for. Sir Casimir Gzowski Park has it all: a massive toddler wading pool, a vibrant playground with swings, ample grassy areas, towering old trees, and even a cozy boardwalk cafe. All this, just steps from the sandy shores…

  • Jamie Bell Adventure Playground in High Park

    I was thrilled to hear that the beloved wooden castle in the Jamie Bell playground, which was tragically destroyed by arson in March, was going to be rebuilt by none other than celebrity renovator Mike Holmes. As Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor, I knew he would do the project justice. When he compared it to building…
