High Park, Urban park in Toronto, Canada
High Park spans 161 hectares with natural forests, ponds, gardens, sports facilities, and recreational areas spread across varied terrain and landscapes.
John George Howard donated this land to Toronto in 1876, establishing specific conditions to maintain the grounds as a public park for residents.
The park includes Colborne Lodge museum, which displays 19th-century furniture and artifacts from Toronto's early municipal period.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entrances, with direct connections to High Park and Keele subway stations on the Bloor-Danforth line.
The park preserves a rare oak savannah ecosystem, featuring black oak trees and native grasses that once covered much of southern Ontario.
