High Park
« on: November 07, 2008, 01:11:53 am »
I was just wondering...what High Park is like at this time of year. Fall colors? Leaves all gone?

I might stop by and take some photos this Sunday...only got a day in Toronto!

That was my old stumping grounds when I was kid growing up
Use to know ever path in the place
But I have no idea now if any leaves are left
Probably more colour left on the trees by you

High park? Same leaves as by the Thames but more ppl in "high" state of mind.  ;D
P.S. I've been to London on a window business trip and now I'm itching to move over.

The leaves are almost gone.  Some colour but not alot.  The trees were at their peak about 1.5 weeks ago.  The majority of leaves are now sitting on the ground.

Thanks!

No I dont got kids... :rofl:

I am just a 19 year old Uni student. Some friends and I want to go to Toronto for shopping, but also want to enjoy some nature.  :) We only got a day to do it. The P5 needs a good highway run anyway.

I will probably stop by and check it out anyway...7 degrees and 40% of precipitation.

Regent park is not that bad anymore since half of it has been torn down in the last 2 years.  Redevelopment.  Jane Finch on the other hand..... UGH.

Actually it is only 1/4 of Regents Park has been torn down...it just looks like 1/2of it.
