Located near the busy neighborhoods of Kensington market and Chinatown is this beautiful park. With the School of Art towering over it in the most stunning way it can, this small but plentiful park hosts an abundance of seating, play areas, and even a park for dogs to let loose. A great place to spend an hour or so resting after a busy day of shopping or even just to have a small stroll through. Worth checking this out just for the fantastic Art sculptures within!

Large park in downtown Toronto, though nothing like New York's Central Park or London's Richmond Park, this is a big and open space. I watched two folks letting their dogs run, but there's also a separate fenced-in dog park area.
Playgrounds, benches, seating areas. The concrete structures are clearly designed to frustrate both homeless and skateboarders.
It is a beautiful spot and I enjoyed my time here thoroughly.

I walk through this tiny park every day to and from work - it's a really nice little plot of grass right in the middle of the downtown area. There's a park and also a water park - it seems to be popular with the a lot of kids but personally I would never dip into the water park.
There's a farmers market here too every Thursday or something like that - a lot of local growers set up small tents here and sell cheese and breads. It's always a fun thing to check out.
It does get a little sketch, but I honestly think the homeless are more sketch looking than actually dangerous. Seems to be a popular hangout for the older, asian grandparent crowd too - saw a bunch of them passing around a diabetic blood glucose level the other day and comparing scores (sugar levels?).
Wouldn't wander into here at night but it's one of my favorite parts of walking home.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Rosey L.Toronto, ON250376651Aug 20, 2018
This is my favourite park in downtown Toronto, the renovation in 2017 really turned it around! I come here often as a shortcut to Chinatown. You can have a picnic, hang out with all the cute dogs (there's an off-leash dog area), and enjoy the beautiful plants around the park! They even have bathrooms that are super clean.

Best dog park in the area! The park is clean with a beautiful playground and splash pads for kids. This is my go to place to walk my dog!
The only down side is it gets pretty scaring walking through there in the dark..... some unusual people lerking around. Great place during the day though!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jen N.Ancaster, ON081Jul 14, 2018
Great atmosphere, love the different facilities at this park! Mavourite feature was the fountain, my dog loved playing in it and it was great to help him cool off.

This little park is a blessing in the heart of downtown Toronto. It's very well maintained and clean. It's also popular among elderly, and you can see them exercising almost every morning.

Great little leash free in the heart of dt. It really is nicely placed with lovely walkways along the side that are well lit at night. There is a nice group of dog owners who come here and have been coined grange park pup owners with yes a matching handkerchief for their pup! It is very sweet. It is also great how it is enclosed to allow for the pups to get a proper romp to tire them out for the day and enjoy themselves.
