Parks & Gardens: Riverdale Park
Riverdale Park is divided in half by the Don River. The park's east side, accessed by Broadview Avenue, is nothing more than just three huge playing fields, a soccer field, two baseball diamonds, running track, ice rink, tennis courts and a pool. However, it does offer something more - the excellent views to Toronto's downtown core.

Parks & Gardens: The Rouge Valley Park
The Rough Valley is a large valley in the east end of Toronto. It is a remarkable park in that it is rare to see such wilderness so close to an urban centre. In fact the park is one of the largest urban parks in North America (the largest in Canada). Rough Park was founded in 1995 and occupying of 50 square kilometres of the Rouge River water shed. It also overlaps into the city of Markham, north of Toronto. The park is remarkable for its wildlife and hiking trails. Rare birds often stop here while migrating while many dears, foxes and even coyetes can be seen on the 12km of trails. Recently several ponds have been added to landfill area near the Toronto Zoo where you can see many geese and even swans. The Rough Park is also home to a campground and to a beach at its mouth on Lake Ontario. Oddly enough I have never visited the beach but I used go down to the Rough Valley while growing up nearby in the 1970's. I still travel out here and take in the hiking trails and I am always impressed by what I see. I have even come here to fish as the Rough River is full of trout.

Parks & Gardens: Running, Blading, Cycling, Strolling...its all goo
There is a series of parks which run into each other extending from North York down through to Lake Ontario. There are several miles of paths through which you can ride, run or blade. ( think it is 20+ miles ) The most northern park is Edward's Gardens which is quite beautiful to take in on its own. If you are into exercising in a park setting in the middle of a cosmopolitan city then check it out. There are maps & guide books that any concierge should be able to hook you up with.

    Parks & Gardens: Credit River, Mississauga
    This park is 10 km west of Pearson International Airport. So if you like nature and planes, this is the park for you. It may seem strange for any rare wildlife to be living so close to an airport that handles 28 million people a year, but it seems as if nature has adpated to plane traffic.. Some of the rare wildlife (rare in the Toronto area)includes Eagles,Hawks,Deer,Tortoises,Beavers,and the occasional Coyote.-These animals may not be rare in Canada, but it is rare to have them living near the center of a city with 2,500,000 people don't you think? ;)

    Parks & Gardens: Downtown Cows
    Yes, there are cows in the midst of the Toronto highrisers. I was surprised that there is a ribbon of small parks running along the skyscrapers. Furthermore, if you follow the route in between, you avoid the traffic on the major streets and the related traffic lights. Traffic just flows in flogs and there is room enough to cross the big streets beteen the major intersections.
