About High Park
High Park was donated to the city by architect John George Howard in 1873 and now covers about 400 acres in the city's west end. It includes a small free zoo, Grenadier Pond for skating in winter, and Hillside Gardens. The Sakura cherry trees near Bloor and Parkside draw huge crowds for a couple of weeks each spring.
