From wild forests to the Chinese gardens High Park has a truly genuine and beautiful vegetation - well taken care of by the city. Regardless of when you visit the gardens are always beautiful.

A walk along the Grenadier Pond on the west side of High Park will make you forget you are in the largest city in Canada. You will find ducks, geese and hiking trails by the lakeside. A popular destination by runners, hikers and families alike.

I've been to High Park many times but each time I bump into something new, discover yet another hidden corner or see a beautiful tree I never noticed before. Let me give you an idea just how large the park is: me and my two-year-old Golden Retreiver were zig-zagging through the park one day to take pictures but she got tired so I had to return with my camera two more times to take some more shots. Few other dogs have as much energy than young Goldens. Yup, that's how big it is.

If you really want to see the many faces of High Park you need to go in spring when nature is wide awake and everything is in full bloom, you also need to go in the fall when golden leaves cover the ground as far as the eye can see and you need to go in the winter to see just how beautiful ice and snow can be. Don't always come during the busiest times; High Park is most peaceful and relaxing early in the morning and after twilight. Here is a list of holidays in Canada 2023 to help you plan your visit.

Another beautiful park is located in nearby Brampton about a 40 minute drive away from High Park: Chinguacousy Park. This park has a small ski hill, a curling rink, snowtubing, a large splash pad and wading pool, beach volleball courts, a track and field stadium, a petting zoo, pony rides, long trails and a great playground. If you're ever nearby, set aside an afternoon to visit Chinguacousy Park - it's well worth it!

Around blooming season I visit the park occassionally with my camera to take new pictures and post new info and updates to this site.
