Website: www.bloor-yorkville.comNearby restaurants: • We really enjoy grabbing a bite in some of the surrounding restaurants and cafés and sit on the rock to eat. MBCo, by the park on the south side, sells amazing (and expensive) gourmet sandwiches. Lettieri, at the corner of Bellair and Cumberland offers more affordable panini and snacks.
While you are there: • The park is just off Bay Subway Station.
• Stroll down the narrow Old York Lane (across from the rock, by Hemingway’s restaurant). It is graced with a lovely mural, charming during the summer and truly feels like Europe.

The Village of Yorkville Park offers a unique patchwork of small gardens along posh Cumberland Street. It starts with a 650-ton mound of granite your child (or the child within you) will want to conquer (unless you’re wearing heels). It is flanked with tables and chairs and, weather permitting, a rain curtain waterfall sculpture. Further, you’ll find clusters of trees, tall grass and boardwalk, each neatly lined on what used to be the lots of Victorian houses. This is one of the best example of great urban design.
