Nearly all of Toronto’s parks get a flood of people when summer comes knocking. The same parks are also the best places to have a picnic. Thus, it is a common sight to see the parks covered in a sea of picnic blankets and couples making the most the time with small talk other activities. Whichever your picnic fancy, here are some of the park within the city that are perfect spots for picnics.

Trinity Bellwoods

The H-Bar and several BBQ stands are the reason why most local like going for a picnic at Trinity Bellwoods. They can get a pre-ordered basket of food from the stand or even opt to pick a spontaneous basket from Nadege, Poutin’s or Chippy’s.

High Park

A picnic is often in a lush green space with ample shade to head for the hot sun, and the High Park has plenty of all this. With eighteen designated picnic sites in the park, visitors are left to enjoy their day just as long as they will not do any barbecuing.

Christie Pits

A picnic cannot be complete without something to bite. Hence, Apiecalypse is a good option to consider when thinking of what to buy when you get to the park. The other option is the Tacos El Asador. After you get your meals, find a spot on the park furthest from the sports field and relax.

Ashbridges Bay

Just a few feet from the Ashbridges Bay parking lots is a section with shady trees and pristine tables. Located on a lakeside, the park is very popular with the locals. They go there for a swim and merry making.

Scarborough Bluffs Park

If a picnic next to Lake Ontario is not enough, then the open expanse that is the Scarborough Bluffs Park should suffice. Either ample picnic opportunities may be hard to find anywhere else in Toronto. The park is a 15KM stretch of land running across the lake.

Dufferin Grove

If your idea of a picnic is something romantic during the late hours of the day, then Dufferin Grove is the place to go for a late picnic. It has gazebos and bonfires that give that a unique edge above most parks.

Cherry Beach Park

A picnic can also be on sandy ground, not just a grassy one. The Cherry Beach Park can be an ideal location for a picnic as one is amazed by the waterfront view. The drive-in located nearby can be an excellent distraction if you get bored and need something to spark up the end of the day.

East End Beaches Park

The east end park is a mix of green spaces and sandy shores. It is a stretch of land with several stands and shops to purchase provisions for the picnic.

Withrow Park
