High Park has happily operated with vehicle access for decades, the 560 Parking Spaces, now 200, around the park enabled easy access to enjoy the various venues scattered in the 399 acres : Adventure Playground, Allotment Gardens, Childrens Garden, Colborne Lodge, Dream, Grenadier Café, High Park Zoo, Labyrinth, Nature Center, Splash Pad, Sports Fields, Swimming Pool, and the beautiful Grenadier Pond, Hillside Gardens, Japanese Garden, Picnic Areas, Trails and open green spaces…
TTC have been running a bus in the summer months for decades from High Park Station into High Park and around the loop and still the buses run empty or with two or three passengers. It should be obvious that this service is not an answer to access into High Park
The weekend closure to vehicles and introduction of the one-way entrance on Parkside and removal of 360 parking spaces has decimated attendance , shut down the park for many and lost yearly events that were held in the Park, i.e. Pumpkin Float, Christmas Trees at the Zoo, Santa at the Zoo, they are sadly missed.
The access issue and destruction of the park we love needs to be addressed before more damage is done…
