Toronto Park Life Tour - Half Day

If you are visiting the city, and feel the need to get in touch with nature, the only real way is to go to 1 of the 1,500 parks in Toronto, which is why Toronto Parks & Recreation slogan is "Toronto a City within a Park" Parks are just about everywhere, on smaller side streets, along the waterfront, plenty of dog parks & High Park even has a train and zoo. Growing up in Toronto the Parks have been like my backyard skating on ice rinks, playing baseball, going on a nature hike. We can even take a ferry boat To Toronto Island park. The parks are also unique to each neighborhood and celebrate what makes that neighborhood so great. On this tour will explore just that, stories of the people who the park is named after. So join me for an afternoon in the park.
