High Park

Story

High Park is a station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located just north of Bloor Street West, spanning the block east of Quebec Avenue to High Park Avenue. It opened in 1968 as part of the westerly extension from Keele to Islington Station. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.Station descriptionThe station is mostly underground, lying behind the properties which face on to the north side of Bloor Street. The main entrance is from Quebec Avenue at the westerly end of the surface bus transfer area, with the ticketing mezzanine one level below, above the east end of the train platforms. The station has escalators here, but despite having ramps at the street entrance it does not have elevators to provide access to the platforms for those with a physical disability. A second entrance from High Park Avenue is at the east end of the bus platform, which is convenient for those needing to cross Bloor Street at the traffic lights to get to and from High Park.The west end is at ground level, with an apartment building constructed partially over the station and along the south side. Just west of the station, Parkview Gardens is divided by the surface subway tracks and there are two entrances; one on the north side leading to Clendenan Avenue and another on the south leading to Bloor Street. Admission and exit at this end of the station is underground through unstaffed turnstiles. The original external signage and trim has a unique bright blue background colour, whereas standard stations are red. In 2009 the station title nameboard over the entrance on Quebec Avenue was converted to the current style of a black background, white lettering and a stripe of green to signify the Bloor–Danforth line, but the other entrances still retain the old ones.

This park is great all around. So much to do. The cherry blossoms is the most beautiful to see in the spring. Dog runs are fenced and plenty of room for the dogs to run around. New splash pad for the kids to cool down on hot sunny day, Railess train ride, etc, etc. It is a fun park to spend a day walking around or just sitting back relaxing by the pond doing nothing but reading a book, having a picnic or watching the the nature animals having their own day of fun!

It's a beautiful park indeed. I grew up spending many summer days exploring this park. It's a great place to go during the summertime if you want to go for a long walk or have a picnic with family/friends. I'm not exactly sure what goes on here during the winter months? Probably not a whole lot. Anyhow, the cherry blossoms during the early spring, and the the fall colors, all make this park quite a special place to experience within the city. It reminds me of the fact that we need more trees lining the streets in Toronto!

One of the greatest off leash parks I know of. Big open space and blocked off with fence. Most of the dogs and doggy humans that comes here are very friendly. There is also a little stream and pool that dogs can jump into. You can take your dog off leash hiking as well. Open all year long. There is more to the park then just the dog off leash section. Area to play softball, baseball, basketball. There is an outdoor pool open in warm weather. A lot of green space, and lake view available as well. Great place to come to see nature at its finest. A lot of free parking as well.

Huge park with lots of places to visit such as a zoo, a lake, a restaurant, a theater, and even a swimming pool. You can take a walk for hours and still haven't finished visiting all areas of the park. One side of the park leads to the lake, just by crossing a road so you can rest and enjoy the beautiful lake as well as its breeze after your long walk in the park. The restaurant "le Grenadier" offers a good variety of delicious food and has a nice big patio. It's very pleasant to eat there during the warm days. High park is also known for its cherry blossom that happens in Spring. Worth a visit for sure. Just make sure you plan to spend at least half a day there.

High Park is a huge city park filled with an array of activities for all ages and all species. You will most likely visit more than once; I would pay to visit this place, but it is free (though donations are accepted at points). To name a few there are classic swings and jungle gym for the kids, tennis court, soccer area (football for the rest of the world), swimming pool, ice rink, dog free roaming area, restaurant, and a zoo! Perfect for family walks, romantic strolls, picnics, taking mans best friend to roam freely and meet other dogs. Overall great experience and lovely memories.
