Memorial Gardens Park

Great place to teach a child how to ride a bike. Otherwise this is a simple little parkette.

Tuesday Farmers Market fresh veggies and fruits by real nice farming families

The Memorial Gardens Park is a good place, where a national commemoration of Remembrance Day is localized in the East York neighborhood.

Great farmers market available on Tuesdays in the summer months. Variety of vendors & products available. Not much street parking due to it being in a busy neighborhood

The East York Civic Centre is here. There is a Farmer's Market held here (not sure if it is once a week however i see it in the morning hours often). They keep the place very clean & more often than not it's calm, quite, & you can walk not bothered which is surprising as it is a sort of "highway" for people walking to work & school as there's a hospital beside it, & a high-school down the street & people walking dog's. Also you can enter / exit the park going South, North, West, East all with well constructed, grass surrounded, clean walkways. The Garden is immense near the South / S.West corners, with a smaller garden & some smaller trees surrounding multiple places to sit near the South E side of the park. There is also a gazebo (NorthWest corner) type structure that forms a half circle with brick walls that has flowers on-top & foliage around the walls, connected to one of the large gardens where you can sit. You can walk around the whole park in 10 - 15mins. During the fall, the day after Halloween they do a pumpkin walk- you can bring your old jack-o'-lanterns to the park. Whereas people will surround the walkways with the jack-o'-lanterns, giving them one more use, & creating a rare, fleetingly beautiful display. Also during November, on Remembrance Day they hold a ceremony in honour of the fallen & vets which has local squadrons from Air Cadets, Sea Cadets, Army Cadets ( i was in Air Cadets, as what i remember the cadets meet & form near the highschool down the street) that march over, into the park creating a beautiful display of homage for our Heroes (of past, present, with the future). Plus in winter, near Christmas time they have a very, very large Christmas tree in the North West side of the park, that they would schedule a lightning for.

Beautiful ? peaceful place

Peaceful 24/7 especially when you need to do some reflective thinking

The farmers market (which operates every Tuesday during the summer) is an excellent place to pick up fresh local produce. The vendors offer a great selection of goods - organic eggs, kale, mushrooms, sweet peas, zucchini are all items I buy on repeat. The layout is well organized with disinfecting stations at the entrance, alongside an individual monitoring the flow of visitors to control crowding. It's always good to support local farmers, so I'll continue going as long as the season permits :)
