High Park Toronto Reviews
Rated
out of 5 During my time at High Park for the cherry blossom season, I was completely blown away by the beauty! The park was transformed into a breathtaking sea of pink/ white blossoms, creating an incredible atmosphere. There were so many walking paths, making it easy to spend hours exploring the area.
I was pleasantly surprised to see few horse rides happening inside the park, which added a unique touch to the experience. It was pretty crowded because of the cherry blossoms, so if you’re hoping to take photos at the prime spots, be ready to wait a bit. But honestly, the lively energy made it all worthwhile!
One of the highlights was how dog-friendly the park is—lots of people were out enjoying the day with their furry companions. The nearby lake was also a lovely addition, with people fishing and relaxing by the water.
I’m already looking forward to next year’s cherry blossom season! High Park is an amazing place to soak up nature, enjoy a leisurely walk, and appreciate the stunning beauty of the blossoms. It’s a must-see in Toronto!

High Park is a stunning destination that truly captures the essence of natural beauty, especially during cherry blossom season. The beautiful cherry blossoms draw flower lovers, while the open spaces and benches provide ideal picnic spots. My family and I had an enchanting experience at the Cherry Blossom Festival, with evening visits feeling like stepping into another world. The vibrant colors and delicate petals created an atmosphere of pure magic. This picturesque setting is perfect for romantic strolls or family outings. Besides its floral charm, High Park offers a range of activities such as dog walking, making it a favorite among pet owners. The zoo within the park features a variety of animals, adding an extra layer of excitement to your visit. With a dog off-leash area, wonderful playgrounds, and a trackless train for kids, High Park caters to everyone. The park is easily accessible via the subway, ensuring convenience for all visitors. Parking near the Garden Cafe is limited, so I recommend parking on the main street and enjoying a leisurely stroll to the cherry blossom area. Overall, High Park is a true urban oasis in Toronto, offering a rejuvenating escape with its vast green spaces, serene ponds, and lush gardens. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and create unforgettable memories with their loved ones.

This park is so lovely. And huge! I walked the entire length of the place, and it all feels like nature is emphasized here. It is so serene, with enough to explore without being distracting. I'll be back here when the leaves turn orange.

Best park in Toronto!!! Easy to get to via subway, lots of places around to eat, beautiful locations in the park, lots of hiking trails and more importantly than all of these lots of animals!!! I love this park and hike it often with my girlfriend. Must-visit places in the park are the zoo, pond front, and cherry blossoms when in seasons! Highly recommend!!
