    Update: August 17, 2020 At the end of July, Toronto moved into in Stage 3 of reopening which includes the city’s playgrounds. This park has undergone some updates since I last wrote about it in 2012. The recent renovations to the playground have residents of the area concerned. The new pathway that runs along the…

  • 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…

    Splash Island at the Toronto Zoo

    I had no idea there was a two-acre splash pad at the Toronto Zoo. It’s incredible. When we went last year, it happened to be the hottest day of the year and we didn’t last very long. Our visit this year was on a perfect summer day so after exploring the African Savanna (our favourite…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • Yonge-Dundas Square in Downtown Toronto

    Update: The T.O Tix booth, the half-price ticket booth for theatre tickets in Yonge-Dundas Square, permanently closed in April 2020. Yonge-Dundas Square has undergone a remarkable transformation since my husband and I attended Ryerson Toronto Metropolitan University. While it possessed a certain charm back then, it wasn’t exactly an ideal place in the city to…

  • 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…

  • Michael Power Park in Etobicoke

    You know you are old when you take your toddler to a park that is located on the exact spot where your high school used to be. Michael Power/St Joseph’s High School was long ago razed to make room for a condo complex. The homes encircle a large playground with a wonderful water feature. My…

  • The Stop Farmer’s Market at Wychwood Barns

    The Stop Farmers’ Market at Wychwood Barns had such a great vibe – the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, which makes exploring the market all the more enjoyable. Today I wanted to try some Kurtis Coffee. The coffee is famous for its fresh, pure taste and ethical sourcing practices, including a commitment to fair-trade. The…
