This is one of the most sought after areas in Toronto both for buyers and renters. With playgrounds, plenty of off-leash space, tennis courts/ baseball diamonds, the zoo and nature walks, High Park is both child and pet friendly and a wonderful place to exercise or spend a Sunday afternoon. And you won't have to find parking during the famed Cherry Blossom festival :).
