    My first review on the go! Beautiful new public space. Nice to see the Waterfront Toronto plan making some progress. Lots of kiddies playing in the splash pad area. There was a serious lack of shade though throughout the park. Hopefully something they remedy in the future. Speaking of, the park is only open until September 2nd. So check it out while you can!

    First of all, it's an great park with meandering paths, lots of trees, a playground, a splash pad and a small pond.

    I thought high park was the best. But this park has its own charming essence. It's not as big as…read morehigh park. But it's a community park which is lush green in summers and an absolutely pleasure to spend the afternoon and evening at.

    This park is tucked away a couple streets north of Eglinton and right in between Yonge and Avenue…read more You won't see it from Eglinton but it is just behind a community centre that offers ice hockey and ping pong (I've yet to investigate all the centre has to offer). It's also a 5 minute walk from the Eglinton TTC station if you plan to get there by public transportation. The park itself is a large plot of green space that is regularly maintained by the City of Toronto. There are two open softball diamonds where I have seen league games played. I've even seen the diamonds maintained by the Toronto Blue Jays Community Care Foundation. There's also a regulation soccer field but on some summer weekdays and Saturday mornings, it is converted to about 8-10 mini soccer fields where toddlers between 4-8 years old (my best guess) chase a soccer ball around the field. On down times, it is popular among the dog owners in the area. There is no fenced off-leash area but it is large enough for dogs to run off-leash and play fetch. The latest development is the kiddies play structure. Built over the Fall of 2014 and opened before year's end, the new structure is among the largest I've seen in a public park. There's plenty of apparatuses for the kids to climb, slide down and do. The ground surface is a soft, bouncy synthetic material. It probably saves some kids from crying and saves parents from cleaning up sand in the house. There is also a circular concrete space that doubles as both a labyrinth for people to follow to de-stress and as a wading pool when filled with water. It's been very popular among the children with the hot temperatures we've been having recently. The community centre does offer parking but I don't think they let anyone in until after 10am and similarly, street parking nearby is permit only from midnight until 10am. But like I mentioned earlier, it's a short walk from the Eglinton TTC station and you can even take the 32 bus from the station to get dropped off right in front of the community centre. For me, I like to run laps around the outer edge of the park and there is a hill close to the community centre. Each lap with a run up the hill is 1km so it's a good spot if you're training for a running race and want to track your distance. If I've made the park sound like it has lots to offer, then I've done my job and I do suggest checking it out if you're looking for something to do in the city, especially if you have restless children (or dogs).
