    A rose garden, gazebo, pergola with flowering vines, a cascading fountain, and a view of Lake Ontario from the top of the bluffs: this is Rosetta McClain Gardens. Walking into the park, hubby and I noticed three men with their cameras situated on tripods with telescopic lenses, pointing toward a group of bushes with purple flowers. We looked closer and the bushes were covered with orange and black butterflies, colorful moths and a number of different bees. Needless to say we stopped to take multiple pictures and videos (October 6, 2017 in the afternoon). Here's an interesting article that gives more info and interesting facts about the garden https://juliekinnear.com/blogs/rosetta-mcclain-gardens-a-park-on-the-edge. Come and sit on a bench with your arms around your loved one; relax to the sounds of chirping crickets, twittering birds and cascading water; be entertained by the scampering squirrels; take in the fragrance of roses, and allow your worries to just fade away.

    Is a wonderful place to go for a nice walk. It would also make a great place to have wedding photos done.

    Yorkville Park is located in "the Village" of Yorkville on the south side of Cumberland Street…read morerunning between Avenue Road and Bellair Street. Unlike most parks, you'll find no grass or benches here. What used to be a parking lot is now filled with gardens, native plant species, prairie meadow, marsh, and trees. A silver-coloured metal structure houses a waterfall bordering one side of a courtyard. At the other end you'll find a rock "outcropping" (a 650 ton rock, coaxed out of the Canadian Shield and reassembled in the park) The park draws many visitors, tourists and is a great place for celebrity sightings during the Toronto Film Fest. Workers (like me!) eat lunch and people-watch at the bistro tables and chairs scattered throughout the park.

    Ahh Yorkville...the playground for the rich of the city and visitor's alike. It's riddled with…read morebeautiful restaurant's of various cuisines, 5 star hotels, boutique shops and has an Oasis feeling, which is strange being in the heart of our busy city. The "Park" in Yorkville is very interesting...It encompasses so many different aspects and attracts such a wide range of dwellers given it's small size and lack of park-like features...such as grass. Yet, it has a rare, and unexplainable beauty to it. From across the street you'll notice an array of photographer's snapping, model's posing, kid's playing, youngsters tanning, business men and women talking shop, and not to mention the view of some of the most expensive cars money can by doing their Tour Du Yorkville. Its a place of many wonders

    The cherry blossoms at Trinity Bellwoods are a bit like Toronto itself--gorgeous, chaotic, and…read moreoverhyped in the best way. The trees line a picturesque stretch of the park, and when they're in full bloom, it feels like the city collectively remembers to stop and breathe for a second. Pink petals, sunshine (if you're lucky), and everyone suddenly becoming a photographer. Of course, you're sharing the moment with about half of Toronto. Between the throngs of selfie-takers, dogs in sweaters, and folks sprawled out pretending it's warmer than it is, there's plenty of entertainment even if the blooms are a bit past their prime. My advice? Don't expect Kyoto-level serenity. But do expect a lively, local take on hanami--Toronto-style. Grab a coffee, people-watch, and enjoy the fleeting beauty before the blossoms (and your patience) are gone for another year.

    Not the park to bring your kids. Or so I was told. I mean, sure there were a few baseball games…read moregoing on and a bathroom to bat. Following the path a bit of ways, we were greeted by the loud screams of a woman in a tent alternating between french and english. Obviously upset in whatever she was going on about. Up the hill a little more. I was informed it was ok to crack a beer and smoke a smoke because it's one of the parks where it's ok? I have no idea if this is true for I was naive enough to take the word of my bud, but as I looked around, not a single kid in sight. I'm told they have drum circles here where they put pyramids on their head and play light language... sounds right up my alley, minus any intoxicants in that type of thing. Anyhow, buggest skeeter I ever saw, made me keep moving until I found myself elsewhere in DT.

Visiting a cemetery is not something I do for fun pre-COVID, but I'm glad I went there for a walk for once. Many tombstones from ages ago are wearing away, and I'm wondering whether their descendants still visit them. You can walk along a path with flat-to-the-ground headstones flanking either side into an area shaded by trees. I also saw Jack Layton's monument, with a headstone sculpture of his face. I see people have left some flowers recently. Super cool as I did not know his gravesite is there! Riverdale Farm was closed when I was there, but I could still peek at the farm animals outside the gate. I was there just after they announced on the news that someone stole Juniper, the baby goat! I believe I saw mama and the siblings there? The gates are not high... so I can see how a rascal can jump the fence and take a goat. Like who does that?! Cemetery and a park walk are not the first things that come to mind, but it reminds me that when I open my mind to unique experiences, I'm most of the time pleasantly rewarded.
