Toronto Off The Beaten Path
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Harbourfront & Toronto Islands: Toronto Music Garden
  • Tip Rating:
  • To the west of the main harbourfront is the Toronto Music Garden. The shape of the garden was inspired by the music of Bach, and the full layout can only really be seen from the air, or in your mind's eye.

    In summertime concerts are held here free of charge.

    It's location directly across from the Toronto Island Airport (a big debate by itself) adds for some extra drama when the propeller-driven plans take off during a performance.

  • East of Toronto is the Mountsberg Wildlife Center. Has some wild animals: bison, birds of prey etc. on the grounds, a lake to swim in, and some short to medium walking trails.

    From Highway 401 go south on Guelph Line. Turn west on Campbellville Road for 4 km and then go north on Milburough Line for 1 km to park entrance.

    Parks & Gardens: Sunday walks
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto has some great parks for walking/jogging/cycling.

    My two favourites are Edwards Gardens (at Lawrence & Leslie) and High Park (West on the Bloor subway line, High Park stop).
