Kew Gardens, Public park in The Beaches, Toronto, Canada

The 6.5-hectare green space stretches from Queen Street East to Lake Ontario, featuring walking paths, gardens, and recreational facilities for visitors.

The land began as a private farm in the 1850s, owned by Joseph Williams who transformed it into a tourist destination named after London's Kew Gardens.

The park serves as the main venue for the Beaches International Jazz Festival and contains the Doctor William D. Young Memorial with Italian Renaissance design.

The facilities include tennis courts, a baseball diamond, skating rink, children's playground, off-leash dog area, and accessible washroom facilities.

The historical Leuty Lifeguard Station from 1920 and the Gardener's Cottage remain as preserved structures within the park's grounds.
