Location: Toronto
Interest: Architecture, History, Nature
Estimated time to complete:
Two hours or longer
This Downtown Discovery Walk leads you through the dense core of the City. Hidden among the skyscrapers, you will discover a rich variety of parks, gardens and streetscapes. Since the 1960s, most of these parks and gardens have been created through building demolition, land exchanges, street closures, lease agreements, land purchases and through the City’s development approval process for major projects.
These parks and gardens have design features ranging from traditional to
contemporary, from pastoral to urban. Cloud
Gardens, Simcoe Park and Olympic Gardens are a few of the many parks noted for their unique design. Other open spaces include a Victorian garden, a sculpture garden, a cloud forest in a greenhouse, a historic
railway round-house park and ceremonial squares, all within the core of Canada's largest City. "
