Great walk through the Rosedale area. Connects to the cemetery and leads you into Davisville via the Belt Line Trail. Lots to look at. Nice and shaded with a river. It wasn’t flowing when I visited but the surrounding erosion shows proof that it can get quite deep at times. Great walk.

Quiet park in midtown, away from the city noise.  Lots of benches to rest and talk or read. Paved walking track for your exercise that goes around the entire park.
Quiet garden area to relax.
Play area with swings and slides for the little ones. Public washrooms available.
Highly enjoyed the park.

Gorgeous lil forest amidst suburbs! Restrooms on site, free parking available, water fountain on site too. The creekside trail is a stunning walk, well worth the time

This park is beautiful, well maintained and so refreshing. There's a ravine trail that connects from the little park besides, and this park as well. It's just an amazing experience. It's green, beautiful and lush. Although I think a little bit maintenance is required in some parts of it.
