Popular Gardens in Brampton

"Since the 1800s, when the Beach boasted amusement rides and quaint cottages, both tourists and Torontonians alike have flocked to this east-end neighbourhood. With tennis courts, a baseball diamond, wading pool in the summer and ice rink during the winter, not to mention the picturesque bandstand and playgrounds, it’s no wonder that Kew Gardens is the go-to venue for those in the know. The park regularly hosts events, with movie nights a favourite throughout the summer; it’s also home to the Beach Guild of Fine Art, a group of local artists who regularly host exhibits and sales in the Historic Gardener’s Cottage."

"Kew Park, located in TheBeaches neighborhood of Toronto, is a delightful tree-shrouded park with large lawns and lots of green space. Layer on a fantastic beach at one end and a few historical structures throughout the park, and you have one of Toronto's finest parks. All contained within this 6.5-acre park are the following: tennis courts, a baseball diamond, lawn bowling, a wading pool, spectacular gardens, a concession stand, and a covered picnic area."

"This popular 6.5-hectare stretch runs from Queen Street East to Lakeshore, with the added distinction of being completely wheelchair accessible. A plastic mat system begins from the bottom of the pool building and leads to the shore, allowing mobility devices to access the water and the sand. If idling on the grassy area sounds a bit boring to you, opto to join the history buffs and tour the old gardener's cottage on property instead."

"While not technically outdoors, the Allan Gardens Conservatory delivers a whiff of nature any time of year: even if it's 10 degrees below freezing. Founded in 1858, the 16,000-square-foot greenhouse inside Allan Gardens park is home to hundreds of plants from around the globe, including tropical orchids, palms, banana trees, and jade vine. There are benches where you can pass an afternoon with a book, or you can opt for a paid tour to learn more about flora you likely won’t find in the wild anywhere in Canada."

"Designated as a national historical site, RBG is revered world-wide for its extensive 400 acres of display gardens. What makes RBG unique is that it also protects and stewards over 2300 acres of environmentally sensitive lands and diverse ecosystems that connect the Niagara escarpment to Lake Ontario."

"Next we have the quaint Beverly Rooftop which features Mexican eats on a small rooftop. This is a lesser known spot but is a great spot to hit if you’re looking to sip on cocktails during the day and enjoy Tacos on the side. This spot has a nice ambiance with a nice view of the CN Tower, despite its small size."

"This park is at Don River and spreads over 18 acres with tons of trees and wildlife. The playground itself is updated and there are swing sets and a fun sprinkler area as well as a fireplace, permanent barbeque, large picnic tables and nearby washrooms."

"Considered Toronto’s urban beach, HTO Park is located just west of Harbourfront Centre. The name, HTO is a play on words, combining both water, H20, and the city’s often used abbreviation, TO. HTO Park is definitely one of the city’s most quirky parks."

"If you’re looking for another garden oasis outside Toronto’s downtown core head to Guild Park & Gardens. Located along the shores of Lake Ontario, within the Scarborough Bluffs chain of parks, is a stunning expanse of green space. Guild Park & Gardens stretches across 80 acres and is a fantastical blend of history and nature."

"If you think you’ve tried every macaron flavour out there, think again. This new spot in Toronto has mastered the art of creative cooking. They’ve got all the classics like creme brûlée and matcha, plus some crazy picks like cheeseburger and corn."
