Wonderful park especially to watch stars in the evening. The nights are absolutely amazing here. It's situated adjacent to the famous Bentway. Great park to walk dogs and usually houses several art exhibitions
Great outdoor space and attached to historic Fort York. June 17, 2023 was the Na-me-res Community feast. Pow wow. Fantastic! Go today or make plans for next years annual event. Information booths, vendors and food as side show. Long line-up for food. However, the main attraction for me was the dancing and ALL are encouraged to join in. A blast. And learn about indigenous culture.
It was my first time in the same neighborhood. Surrounded by housing communities on all sides, the Garrison Common do provide a serene environment for the public to unwind & take their pets out for a walk as well. Many events take up this place as their venue due to its strategic & historical significance. Once you get down from the street car, you can walk towards the bridge & take the stairs underneath the bridge to get to this open space. A great place for a picnic or an evening walk.
Beautiful park located along The Bentway with nice views of the City skyline. Large enough to host events with thousands of people. Vegandale fest is probably one of the biggest summer events hosted here every year.
Great open green space in the business downtown next to the craziness of the Gardener and Lakeshore. Thou limited in facilities if not for access to the Bentway washrooms, then porta potty it is. Dog lovers delight.
