Cherry Blossoms, Gardens & Nature

High Park is home to a many cherry trees, called Sakura trees, that bloom in April or
May – depending on weather. The beautiful white and pink cherry blossoms attract
thousands of visitors to the park each year.

From wild forests to the Chinese gardens High Park has a truly genuine and
beautiful vegetation – well taken care of by the city. Regardless of when you visit the gardens are always beautiful.

Waterfront & Off Leash Dog Park

A walk along the Grenadier Pond on the west side of High Park will make you forget you are in the largest city in Canada. You will find ducks, geese and hiking trails by
the lakeside. A popular destination by runners, hikers and families alike.

The park has a designated off-leash area for dogs and several paths where dogs are allowed to run free. While the dog park is not completely fenced in it is surrounded
by natural borders such as thick bushes and trees.

Zoo, Sports, Adventure Park & Picnic Area

The mini-zoo at High Park has llamas, buffalo, bison, deer, peacocks and a few other animals including cats and pigeons:) The zoo is open from 7am until dusk. Free

Tennis courts, baseball diamonds and soccer fields are all present inside the park but many other sports can be played on the large grassy fields.

The Jamie Bell Adventure Playground is a large, unique play area designed in part by children. Make sure to include a visit to this adventure park this summer with
your kids!

The 18 designated picnic areas seat hundreds of people.
Reservation required for larger groups.

The zoo inside High Park in Toronto is located on Deer Pen Road and is accessible via the Parkside Road entrance. There is plenty of parking just in front of the zoo’s entrance. The hours of the zoo are 9am to 7pm (spring summer, fall) and 9am to 5pm in winter.

There are 6 or 7 enclosed areas on either side of Deer Pen road where the animals of the zoo live. You can find bison, deer, llamas, peacocks, highland cattle, etc. in the zoo. The zoo dates back to the early 1900s when deer were kept inside High Park. The High Park zoo is really great for families. No need to walk for hours from one animal to another and there are plenty of other activities in the park you and your family. There is no admission fee to enter the zoo area.

Kids:

Kids put on their investigative thinking caps and play the new Colours, Countries and Critters (CC&C) ClueSolver game, presented by Friends of High Park Zoo.

CC&C is a digital adventure game customized for children under the age of 10 and their parents/guardians. The game physically takes kids through High Park Zoo via a mobile
app.

The purpose of the game is to add a layer of engagement and interactivity to the Zoo experience, while offering an opportunity to educate visitors about the Zoo’s residents.
