Absolutely. You can take as many pictures as you like but please stay on marked trails.


Hello, was curious if photography is allowed in this park? not wedding photography, just regular photography of the landscape and nature?


Yes, the zoo is open on Saturdays.



Is the zoo open on saturday March 6th 2010 ?


Hi,

Do you know when (date/ month) might the Cherry Blossoms be this year?

my e-mail is: annalee55@hotmail.com

Thanks


As far as I know the park if open 24/7 but you may not be able to drive in before 6am and after dusk.


I am not aware of any fire pits in High Park. I checked out the City's official website and it doesn't list "fire pits" in the list of facilities. If you want to have a campfire or BBQ by a fire-pit then you could go to the Center Islands. There are 4 fire pits on the Island Park but you need to get a permit first to use them.


You can get married in High Park but you need a permit from the city first. Please call the City at 416-338-0338 (Access Toronto) and choose the Marriage Licenses option.


Hi, I was wondering if there are any fire pits that the public can use? Something similar to a campground fire pit is what I had in mind. Thank you.


Can you get married in High Park and if so do you need permits or have to contact anyone


I was wondering about the park's hours of operation will be this Saturday February 27th, 2010.


someone asked about poisonous plants in High Park. I'm only aware of poison ivy but if you stay on the marked trails this shouldn't be a concern.


Greetings,

We are writing to you to express our concern over something that we have witnessed in High Park at least five times in the past year. Every time we've gone to the High Park zoo, we've seen a man who does not appear to work for the park feeding the animals through the fences and encouraging small children to do the same by offering them his food. There are signs clearly stating that this is not acceptable behaviour and it causes us concern to see it. We're certain that it's been the same person each time. He's a middle-aged, caucasian man carrying a blue plastic shopping bag containing food.

We thought you'd want to know.

Concerned Residents Of Toronto Creating Harmony




Are there public lockers available?


To Whom It May Concern:

I am wondering if you could tell me whether or not High Park has any dangerous plants/insects that a teacher or parent should be concerned about. I am creating a field trip and would like to bring my students to your park.

Thank you!


Hi there,

I want to advise you that the area of the park just south of the street car stop in the park area off Howard Park is filled with all kinds of litter and it has been that way for some time now. The street car stop area itself and its surrounding area also tends to be dirty. I suspect that the TTC drivers are partly to blame for this problem, and they should be required by the TTC to maintain they stop clean of debris. I walk by this area at least twice a week and have not seen any improvement (in fact it is getting worse). Thanks John


Hi I was just wondering if there is a permit fee that we need to get for wedding pictures?


Is there any volunteer opportunities at high park?


Is there a fee to enter the greenhouse at High Park?


I was plannibng to do some cross country skiing in the park as I haver done in past years. Now I live some distance from the park and have no knowledge of the amount of snow available on the ski trails or if it is apt for such usage.

Perhaps you would provide some encouragement and e-mail me with some information as to the condition of the snow base available for crosss country skiing on
the designated trails.

yours thankfully,
David Henderson


I wanted to know if you replace the park benches, and if its possible to purchase one of your park benches? One of them has great sentimental value


I have recently relocated to Toronto and now live in a 6 storey apartment on Bloor St. W. just around the corner from the park. I moved from a house where I regularly separated my green waste. This is not the policy in my building. Does High Park have anything I can participate in as far as bringing my green waste to a site at the park?


We're glad to announce that the highparktoronto.com website now ranks #1 in Google if someone searches for "high park toronto". Hurray!
