Hotels near High Park
Toronto, ON M6R 2Z3, Canada
High Park is a 161-hectare west-end park - Toronto's largest public park and most celebrated green space. Originally the country estate of Toronto land surveyor John Howard (donated to the city in 1873), the park includes hiking trails, sports fields, a small zoo (free entry), the Grenadier Pond (with paddleboats in summer), and the most famous Sakura cherry trees in Canada (planted as a 1959 gift from the Japanese government).
The cherry blossoms peak briefly in late April or early May (varies by weather) - tens of thousands of Torontonians flood the park for the 7-10 day bloom. The Shakespeare in High Park outdoor festival runs July-August (free outdoor performances on the High Park stage). The free zoo includes bison, llamas, peacocks, and Canadian highland cattle. Free park; open dawn to dusk. Allow 3-4 hours for a full visit.
Pro Tip: Time your visit for late April/early May to catch the cherry blossom peak - check the High Park Cherry Blossom Watch website for live updates. The free zoo and Grenadier Pond make this a perfect family outing year-round. The free Shakespeare summer evenings are an underused Toronto highlight.
