Toronto is full of vibrant green spaces for residents to enjoy, offering an eco-friendly way to spend time in the city.
Most are accessible by public transit, cycling or car.
When a vacation or a day trip isn’t in the cards, packing a picnic, planning a hike, or hopping on your bike for a little cruise makes for a sweet staycation.
Just remember, when meeting with others who aren’t in your social circle, remember to keep six feet apart and to have gatherings no bigger than 10 people.

While Trinity Bellwoods park is a Toronto-classic, it also has garnered some negative press during the pandemic. So while it’s safe to enjoy a picnic with some friends, if they’re not in your social circle you must remain six feet apart. And only, up to 10 people can meet.
