Yorkville Park

Ahh Yorkville… the playground for the rich of the city and visitor’s alike. It’s riddled with beautiful restaurant’s of various cuisines, 5 star hotels, boutique shops and has an Oasis feeling, which is strange being in the heart of our busy city.
The «Park» in Yorkville is very interesting… It encompasses so many different aspects and attracts such a wide range of dwellers given it’s small size and lack of park-​like features… such as grass.
Yet, it has a rare, and unexplainable beauty to it. From across the street you’ll notice an array of photographer’s snapping, model’s posing, kid’s playing, youngsters tanning, business men and women talking shop, and not to mention the view of some of the most expensive cars money can by doing their Tour Du Yorkville.
Its a place of many wonders

Yorkville Park is located in «the Village» of Yorkville on the south side of Cumberland Street running between Avenue Road and Bellair Street.
Unlike most parks, you’ll find no grass or benches here. What used to be a parking lot is now filled with gardens, native plant species, prairie meadow, marsh, and trees. A silver-​coloured metal structure houses a waterfall bordering one side of a courtyard. At the other end you’ll find a rock «outcropping» (a 650 ton rock, coaxed out of the Canadian Shield and reassembled in the park)
The park draws many visitors, tourists and is a great place for celebrity sightings during the Toronto Film Fest. Workers (like me!) eat lunch and people-​watch at the bistro tables and chairs scattered throughout the park.
