High Park Subway


High Park Subway & High Park Skating!!
High Park Subway station is on the Bloor-Danforth line of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).  It was opened to the public in 1968 and serves about 10,000 people a day.  

Worthy to the namesake, High Park subway station is situated in the core of several popular parkland sites, such as Grenadier pond and High Park.  Historically you used to be able to skate on Grenadier pond, but now there is a ban put on as the ice rarely freezes over enough for safe skating.  Although there is an artificial rink located at the north end of the park for pleasure skating.
If  you are all that energetic you can take a hiking or cross country ski through the paths as they are maintained through the winter months as well.
High Park itself is the largest park in Toronto and spans over 398 acres and extends all the way into Markham Ontario!
