citylikeyou — High Park — Toronto by Cristian Ordóñez

Toronto / Park

Toronto’s largest public park with many hiking trails, playgrounds, lake views, vegetation, picnic areas, a small zoo, coffee place, greenhouses, sport facilities throughout the year. A close place to my home and work, one of my favorites places to go, think, enjoy with my family or go on my own in a photographic walk on daylight or at night.

The rattray marsh is the set for my wild youth spent among the trees and rivers.

Toronto / River

Perfect relaxing place at the west end of the city. Getting of Old Mills Subway Station, you can discover a perfect spot to escape from the city and have a picnic or bike along the river north or south up to Ontario Lake, nice panoramic to the river marshes and the ruins of an old mill.

Toronto / Cafe

Best Coffee in the city, Hands down! Multiple locations all over the city. Each have their own distinct Atmosphere. The Park location borders Trinity Bellwoods Park. If you want to stroll with your coffee. Keep your eyes peeled for the albino squirrel and watch your step with the slack liners in the park. The staff at SJCB are talented and not preachy about coffee education. It's just good, consistent beverages and assorted pastries. No wifi. Not a place to set up an office for the day. Toronto has lots of those.

Toronto / Place

I enjoy rock climbing and bouldering, and the closest gym to my house is Climbers rock in Burlington. It's a pretty awesome gym.
