What people say, in short
Visitors recommend High Park, and a few mention its zoo and walks, and one points to its small historic house. A few also rank it among the city's top parks. Two visitors raise cautions: one says the narrow weekend sidewalk gets too crowded, and another says cyclists ride fast on the open park roads. One visitor adds that a TTC bus serves the park on weekends when car restrictions apply.
