Some decent hills for toboganning in the winter too! Nice shady areas and a number of gazebos availble for private picnics (must reserve spot with city to obtain permit). Well maintained garden area thats beautifu in the summer. Short trail with nice views of the foliage in the fall. A great park to visit during all seasons. Very lively place. People there at all times of the day even on weekdays but never felt like its too crowded. Plenty of space for all to enjoy. Lots of parking. Ice cream truck is often in the lot by the playground selling the usual overpriced items. There is a washroom onsite.

Tucked away in midtown Toronto, Sherwood park offers a paved path that travels alongside a creek, a…read morebaseball diamond, plenty of grassy and wooded area, a playground and wading pool/water fountain for kids and a lovely off-leash area for dogs. The off-leash is at the far east end of the park. It's wide dirt pathways are fenced in, to prevent dogs from damaging the greenery, although small dogs with a healthy sense of mischief can easily wiggle through the fence. In June 2010 a new boardwalk pathway was added, descending down a hill to a looped pathway around the creek. The fence is removed in this lower area, providing an opportunity for dogs to romp in the water without breaking the rules. One noticeable problem with the off-leash area is the lack of garbage bins, so be prepared to tote that unpleasant baggie of dog poop until you re-enter the main park area. In the summertime the playground is packed with children and their nannies, your kids will mostly likely find friendly playmates among them. The dog park hosts a number of professional dog walkers, don't be surprised if you round a corner and run into 5+ wagging tails in a group, all competing for your attention.

We visited on a May weekend on a nice day and there was plenty of (free) parking avaiable. There were Rangers available at the entrance to the hike (not sure if this is normal, or just because of the toronto open days weekend). They were really helpful and offered great recommendations for the hikes, The hike we chose was fairly easy,although it was confusing at times due to the signage. We very rarely get lost, however on this hike we got lost at least twice and had to back track. But apart from that it was still a great time.

There's parking space for about two dozen cars and a wonderful children's playground just off Brimley Road. Beyond that, one can take a long walk through a swath of parkland with a few benches to stop and soak in the surroundings. Free (funded by general taxpayers). Clean. Tranquil. A brief escape from the realities of daily life for most, including myself.

The parking lot here isn't huge so it can get busy but if you are able to find parking in one of the nearby streets and stroll down, you are in for a real treat. There is always wild life to observe and pedestrian friendly path that will make you want to keep on walking! A bridge at the end of the parking lot will take you over to the Pickering side where the waterfront trail continues well into the Durham region with expansive waterview most of the way. Definitely a great place to visit for some quiet time!

I also checked out Dandelion Café at Edwards Gardens, a charming spot tucked inside the Toronto Botanical Garden's historic barn courtyard. The setting is beautiful, with patio seating overlooking the gardens which is perfect for a rest after strolling the trails. The menu offers light bites, drinks, and sweet treats, with heartier options like wood-fired pizza and grilled dishes on summer music nights. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the seasonal hours make it a lovely warm-weather destination. A hidden gem for a relaxing coffee or snack surrounded by nature. I really enjoyed the smoothie popsicles and Nanaimo bar. Definitely will be back again.

There is a network of wide gravel paths with nice water views of Lake Ontario. I was disheartened to see a lot of trash in the park. There were benches and tables throughout the park, but most people were enjoying sitting on the rocks. Many were taking photos. There were also grills and the smell of barbeque hit me. The bluffs are quite majestic. There is a restroom near the start of the path. The day I visited there was an ice cream food truck onsite. There is a large parking area which I had to circle multiple times before a space became available and when I left it took me over 20 minutes to get out of the lot and onto the main road. The Scarborough Bluffs are approximately 40 minutes from the Toronto airport.
