Sunnybrook Park, Public park in Toronto, Canada
Sunnybrook Park is a public park in Toronto spanning over 154 hectares with natural trails and diverse recreational areas. The space includes sports fields, cricket pitches, bike routes, fitness equipment, picnic areas, and designated spaces for dogs to roam freely.
Alice Kilgour donated the farm to the city in 1928, converting her late husband Joseph's private estate into public recreational land. This gift marked a turning point for Toronto, opening green space for the expanding community.
The park preserves its equestrian heritage through historic barns that function as a public riding school for the community. You can watch riders training and see how this tradition remains part of daily life here.
The park has multiple entrance points that make it easy to access different areas throughout the grounds. Plan your visit for warmer months when all trails and facilities are fully accessible and weather conditions are most pleasant.
The Glendon Forest section hosts diverse woodland with sugar maples, eastern white pines, and American beech trees. This wooded setting attracts wildlife such as Great Blue Herons and snapping turtles that make their homes among the trees.
