You've probably heard of Cabbagetown, that quaint section of Toronto filled with victorian brick townhouses and some of the earliest carpenters' homes. What might be a secret is that there is some great parkland just East of Parliament, south of Bloor. It flanks both sides of the Don River, and can also be accessed from Broadview. TTC it to Broadview subway stop and walk South, or take the College/Carlton streecar east from Yonge St. and get off at Parliament (west side of river) or Broadview (east side).
There are baseball diamonds, a petting zoo that little kids love, and lots of pathways.
Access to Riverdale Farm is just North of Carlton East of Parliament off of Winchester St.
This
website gives you a good overview of the area with some great photos and background history of the area formerly known as Royal Drive.
