The Toronto Islands are a chain of small islands located in Lake Ontario, just offshore from the Toronto city centre.
 The islands are a popular recreational destination, and are home to a small residential community and to the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. They are connected to the mainland by several ferry services. There are several swimming beaches and the Islands are home to four yacht clubs.

Home to diverse species of wildlife and ecosystems, the Rouge Park is the largest environmental park in an urban area in all of North America. As you hike through its rolling hills on a spectacular autumn afternoon, you will be struck by its magnificent beauty. Rouge Park is truly "the wilderness next door". It is a natural getaway for all nature enthusiasts - bird watchers, wildflower lovers and those
who want to catch a rare glimpse of wildlife in its habitat.

High Park is Toronto's largest public park featuring many hiking trails, sports facilities, a beautiful lakefront, convenient parking, easy public transit access, a zoo, playgrounds for children, a couple of eateries, greenhouses, picnic areas, a bunch of squirrels and various events throughout the year. There is even an outdoor theatre that holds an annual Shakespeare festival.
