Popular Gardens in Ontario

"Be it dog walkers, joggers, paddlers or sunbathers, this enormous beach is quite attractive for all kinds of folks around.

Other facilities available at the site include a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, a snack bar and an off-leash dog area."

"The 6.5-hectare park is one of the best parks to visit in Toronto. The place provides an Olympic-size public swimming pool and tennis courts. Besides having a beachfront fire pit on winter weekends or enjoying ice-skating in the ice-skating rink, is no less than a divine pleasure."

"Kew Gardens is a large park in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto. The park stretches from Queen Street East to Lake Ontario at Kew Beach. Kew Garden is castle themed!"

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.

"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."

"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."

"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century.

"Try some smørrebrød at the Drake Commissary|© Colin Faulkner. Don’t skip the most important meal of the day while you’re here – Toronto is big on brunches and has a number of restaurants offering unique twists on the meal. For a TO stalwart, head to the Drake Commissary and try some smørrebrød, a Danish open-face sandwich made with rye bread that is topped with seasonal ingredients."

"Leave it to the folks behind the Drake to come up with one of the coolest places to break bread. At this bustling corner in the Junction Triangle, chefs, bakers, patrons and artists come together over some darn good dough. The Commissary is more than a bakery, it’s an 8,000-square-foot community-and-culinary hub set in a refurbished condiment factory."
