This is a neat and hip little hangout spot located in central downtown Toronto. There is metered…read morestreet parking within a reasonable walking distance, but the easiest parking location is the commercial garage located right under the square. That is what I did. The Square also has a few bus stops as well, if you wish to take public transit. It is named after Nathan Philipps, mayor of Toronto from 1955 to 1962 and dates back to 1965. There have been many modifications and upgrades since then. The Square is a decent size, spanning 12 acres and is located in the shadow of Toronto's city Hall. It is a symbol of peace and remembrance. The Square features the world-famous LED multi-color changing Toronto sign. It is definitely worth checking out. The sign serves as the backdrop to the Square's water features that is a reflecting pool in the warmer months and a full-fledged skating rink in the winter. I visited in the winter, so the skating rink was in full effect. In addition to the sign, the Square has a peace garden, which was created as a memorial to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, a stage and several pieces of public art that include the Three Way Piece No.2: Archer The Square offers skate rentals, but a lot of people had their own. It is Canada. The Square also has a snack bar and usually has a food truck or two about on high traffic days. You will find a few cement benches to sit on while you are here and stairwells throughout the park that lead down to the underground parking garage. This spot is used to host some of the city's special events including the Cavalcade of Lights, New Year's Celebrations, Remembrance Day Celebrations, concerts, festivals and rallies. The Square is a popular spot among locals and tourist alike. The place was packed when I was there with skaters and visitors, but it was New years Eve. They did shot the skating off at 10PM that night. I really enjoyed hanging out at the Square. There is not a lot to do, outside of ice skating, but there is so much to see. Be sure to get a picture in front of the Toronto sign while you are there. It was a bit busy, but nothing too unbearable. The line for the skate rental was ridiculous, but I stayed away from it. Anyway, this is a must see while you are in Toronto and I highly recommend checking it out.

Nathan Phillips Square is one of Toronto's best-known public spaces and an easy stop while…read moreexploring downtown. We walked into a lively plaza that's home to the iconic TORONTO sign, surrounded by the curved towers of City Hall, and regularly hosts festivals, concerts, seasonal events, and community gatherings throughout the year. Whether visiting during the day or at night, there is usually something happening that keeps the square active and engaging. The TORONTO sign is the main attraction and one of the city's most recognizable photo spots. We spent some time taking photos and watching people interact with the installation, and in the evening, the illuminated letters and surrounding lights made it even more impressive. The architecture of City Hall creates a great backdrop, and the modern, sweeping lines of the building contrast nicely with the open plaza. During the winter, the reflecting pool transforms into a skating rink that becomes one of the busiest outdoor skating spots in the city. In the warmer months, the open plaza is often filled with food vendors, cultural festivals, and live entertainment, and the energy of the space shifts depending on the season and the event taking place. The square is centrally located within walking distance of many of Toronto's major attractions, making it easy to include in a day of sightseeing. Since events are held here throughout the year, checking the schedule before visiting is worth doing, because you may end up experiencing a festival or performance during your trip. It can get crowded during weekends and special events, but the open layout still makes it easy to walk around and take in the surroundings without feeling trapped by the crowds. Nathan Phillips Square is one of those places that is worth visiting even if you are only spending a short time in Toronto. Between the famous sign, seasonal activities, and constant lineup of events, it is a landmark that gives you a good sense of the city's atmosphere, offering a space that feels both civic and welcoming, and a snapshot of Toronto's energy that changes with the season and the time of day.

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.
