High Park

There are lots of entrances to High Park and different experiences depending on time of year. Great spot to view autumn colours due to all the giant maple trees. If you have a dog, the dogs off leash areas are the best in the city. If you have a kayak, access the park by paddling upstream from the bridge down at Lake Ontario. The Humber River flows through High Park giving it lots of water.

Seniors seem to like lunch at the Old Mill restaurant which overlooks the river.

There is fishing, kms of cycling and running paths, a little zoo, Shakespeare in the Park, skating and hockey in winter. Check out the park's website.

You can get there by subway--Bloor west line High Park stop, or Keele Subway Station walk south (crossing Bloor Street West). From the 506 College Streetcar west get off at High Park Loop. From the 501 Queen Streetcar get off at Colborne Lodge Drive (I like this one the best as it's most wild).

Or by car. This website gives directions.
