Nature and Parks in Toronto

"Formerly an industrial area along the waterfront of Lake Ontario, Sugar Beach Park is one of Toronto’s urban beaches. Although you can’t swim at this beach, the city has provided lounge chairs and iconic pink umbrellas, making it a great spot to claim a patch of sand for some reading, hangouts with friends, or to watch boats go by.Christie Pits Park — Accessible by subway, this small park is a hub of activity because of its residential location. Christie Pits Park has a free public swimming pool, baseball diamond, children’s park, and, in the wintertime, a skating rink. This park is famous for its summer film program, the Christie Pits Film Festival. On Sunday evenings, locals gather to watch a themed film program." - MATADOR_NETWORK
