As a neighbourhood resident, I visit this lovely urban park almost weekly throughout the year. Very popular with young families and those having outdoor birthday parties. Each season has a different feel to it, and each it's own beauty. Look for various types of birds (ducking from the red-winged black birds in spring is a fun activity), rabbits, amphibians.....and twice I've seen coyotes.....once at 5:30 am (2 of them rough-housing) and once in the middle of the afternoon (keeping out of sight in the grass.....although I obviously saw it). But don't worry....your chances of seeing one are practically nil.

This is a beautiful park in downtown Toronto. We visited Corktown to see the street art and walked to this park on the way home. It is a peaceful spot where they have planted many native shrubs and plants. There are places where the city completely disappears and you seem to be in the wilderness. There are playgrounds and even a water feature that children would love in the hot weather. A great place to visit if you want to escape for a while in Toronto.
