Top 5 Romantic Date Spots in Toronto- #4: High Park

 Spring has sprung, and there’s no denying it. It’s here and we’re never going back... unless you count the upcoming November, and December of this year, plus January and February of next year.

     Now that we are in the months of bunnies hopping around, birds chirping in the morning and indoor felines everywhere getting newly excited over open windows, it is the time for a lovely park date! The most romantic park for such a date being Toronto’s High Park, or as I like to call it, Central Park Jr. in New York City Jr. or the “High Park.”

      It’s is perfect since it has a lot of walking space and a lot of cherry blossoms this time of year. Tell me; what is more romantic than having a picnic under cherry blossoms, facing a small pond?! Okay, maybe any of those “Hey Girl” memes, but this is still pretty good!

     Not into picnics? That’s cool. Enjoy a cute little walk and then take your date to the High Park restaurant near Bloor St. If you’re a walker, you’ll love to start on Lake Shore and work your way up. You’ll get to see all the park, including that big maple leaf made out of flowers and in the end you’ll feel like you’ve earned your dinner. Just make sure to wear comfortable foot wear.

     Can’t escape the kids and need to take those tag-alongs on your big romantic night out? Drop them off at one of High Park’s many play areas! Just give them your cell phone and tell them not to talk to strangers! Wow! It’s like double duty because you also won’t be distracted by all of those little vibrations in your pocket Thanks High Park!

     There’s nothing to get your heart thumping quite like a big maple leaf, ice cream trucks and letting nature take care of your little rug rats. Keep calm and carry on this walking path.
