A five-minute walk from either Pape or Chester subway stations, south of Danforth (between Carlaw and Logan), is lovely Withrow Park filled with mature trees. It includes a large wading pool by a great playground and tennis courts. A bit further south is another playground amidst big trees. Down the hill, you'll find an off-leash dogs park.
Withrow Park is the perfect setting for two great events: Dusk Dances and outdoor summer theatre (Shakespeare plays presented by Driftwood Theatre in the last few years). Plus, it is located in a posh neighbourhood with many boutiques and restaurants located along Danforth.
