Toronto Islands

The Toronto Islands are a chain of small islands in Lake Ontario. The islands are located just offshore from the Canadian city of Toronto, and provide shelter for Toronto Harbour. The islands are a popular recreational destination, and are home to a small residential community and to the Toronto Island Airport. They are connected to the mainland by several ferry services.
The islands comprise the largest urban car-free community in North America, though some service vehicles are permitted.

Trinity Bellwoods Park Toronto

Trinity Bellwoods Park is located on the west side of downtown Toronto, bordered by Queen Street West on the south and Dundas Street on the north. The western boundary of the park is Crawford Street, running north to within a short block of Dundas, where the park extends further west several hundred feet past the Crawford Street Bridge to Shaw Street. Most of the park's area lies in the original Garrison Creek ravine and this creek, now a buried city storm sewer, still flows beneath the park from the northwest to the southeast corners.

Riverdale Park Toronto

Riverdale Park is a large park spanning the Lower Don River, Toronto. Recreational fields for soccer, baseball, and Ultimate are available on both sides of the river with a swimming pool, tennis courts and outdoor hockey rink to the northeast, as well as a running track in the centre.
At the south-east corner is Bridgepoint Hospital and a monument to Sun Yat-Sen. Immediately to the west of the park in Cabbagetown is Riverdale Farm a city operated, publicly accessible farm.
The land on the east side of the Don River was originally owned by John Scadding, one of the early settlers to Toronto and the estate manager and clerk for John Graves Simcoe, Governor of Upper Canada. A walk along Broadview Avenue shows the evidence of this in the form of green exhaust pipes to vent the methane gas from the former dump beneath the park.
In 1990, a grassy slope on the eastern side was planted with trees. This was the first public event hosted by the Task Force to Bring Back the Don. The slope is now moderately forested with trees averaging 3-4 metres in height. (from wikipedia)

The rest of the area known to the city as Moss Park includes the Distillery District, the Garden District, and Corktown.
Moss Park was originally the heart of Toronto's industrial area, home to large factories and the densely packed homes of the workers they employed. The row houses of Corktown, like those of nearby Cabbagetown, have also largely been refurbished and are in great demand.
