What to See In and Around High Park

July 23, 2021By James Ricci

RIDE PROFILE:

High Park is a major Toronto landmark, and for good reason. This greenspace has something for everyone and, with its famously steep hills, it’s most definitely best explored by e-bike. You’ll also want to spend some time checking out its bustling hood filled with unique local shops and restaurants.
