Toronto High Park Journeys I

Today we do the first in what will be a series of journeys through Toronto's beautiful and iconic High Park this summer.

Each journey will include a map of the route taken and will include copious photographs!

Our first begins at Grenadier Pond, makes it way up through the waterfall gardens to the north of it, reaches the Grenadier Restaurant and then descends down through the zoo to the new children's play castle and finally past the smaller ponds to its south.

High Park, of course, can be accessed on the north end via Runnymeade, High Park and Keele subway stations or, as we did for the southern journey, via the 501 Streetcar and the Queensway.
