I will make a reservation as this place is small.

At Noonish, we will walk to the North East entrance of High Park, where we will take a group shot before heading on the paved trails to Cherry Blossom park.

We will take in the blossoms followed by a walk in the Hill Side gardens overlooking Grenadier Pond.

At 1 pmish, we will meet back at the North entrance of High Park, then we will head to The Mugshot Tavern for a well deserved pint of beer and a snack.

If you are coming by car, the park is closed to vehicles on weekends, with street parking at a premium.

If you want to continue to explore High Park...

Lastly, my family enjoys the Shakespeare in the Park, during the summer. Not sure what show they will be putting on this year, though I may make it a weeknight meet-up.
