It was a nice sunny day and I wanted to get outside for a walk. I headed to High Park this afternoon ... I lived near the park from 1996 to 2001 and had spent a lot of time walking through it. I don't get there as often as I'd like and I've been wanting to go the last couple of weeks.
High Park is a municipal park in Toronto, Ontario. It spans 161 hectares (400 acres) and is a mixed recreational and natural park, with sporting facilities, cultural facilities, educational facilities, gardens, playgrounds and a zoo. One third of the park remains in a natural state, with a rare oak savannah ecology.
High Park was opened to the public in 1876 and is based on a bequest of land from John George Howard to the City of Toronto. It is the largest park entirely within the city.
I took the Queen streetcar and got off at Colborne Lodge Drive. I usually walk around the perimeter clockwise towards Grenadier Pond but this time I walked counterclockwise.

The end of this trail took me to Bloor Street W |
