Nature

Toronto's largest park. It's a great place to go for a walk, bring a dog, or relax in nature!

Not as big as high park, can get there by taking the Dundas streetcar (East). A cool hangout for hippies, hipsters and families. Much more busy than High Park. Fun place to hang out.

Neighborhoods

Kensington is a very unique neighbourhood filled with eclectic shops, restaurants and patios. Over the weekend in the summer the streets are closed to cars to that only pedestrians can walk around. There are tiny restaurants serving very affordable dishes from a wide range of ethnicities and small shops that have been around for decades. Not too many places like it in the world!
