8 Nature & Parks in Midtown That You Shouldn't Miss

January 1, 2022 Venice Greaves

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

The history of the brick works is a story to be told. Partial parts have been kept. The Saturday farmers market is wonderful - the organics, the unique foods. A great way to stock up on food for the week. Easy to get to from Broadway Subway Station. The restaurant is great - be prepared to wait on weekends. And a great place to learn to about sustainable methods - personal or commercial.

Kay Gardner Beltline Trail

Reviewed By Regishill

What a great way to spend a morning. Lovely flat walk with trees and lovely people along the way. My husband and I enjoyed a lovely walk from Yonge (Davisville) to Allen Road and then walked along Eglington back to Yonge.Drung the last visit we went along the Beltline Trail to the east. Get walk as well.

Wychwood Barns Park

Reviewed By leannc572

We were at Wychwood Barns two consecutive October weekends for Dia de los Muertos festivities. This venue is a quick drive from downtown Toronto and has an interesting history, cool to see buildings such as these restored and repurposed. Indoor and outdoor event space galore, the perfect setting for any artists event.

Toronto Beach

Known as "The Beach" or "The Beaches," this eastern side of Toronto is a popular tourist spot as it offers a completely different flavor than downtown brings. There are plenty of historic buildings and independent specialty shops, but the main selling point is several kilometers of boardwalk surrounded by a sandy beach.

Reviewed By 370gabrieler - North York, Canada

Fantastic place to walk with a view of the skyline. A family friendly place for a stroll with a view. Not far from coffee and shops for a bite to eat.
