CULTURE
The culture in High Park is recreational in nature, due to it’s proximity to the city’s largest park. Amongst other great attributes, many residents take advantage of the park’s running & biking trails, the outdoor rink and pool, the tennis courts, the Jamie Bell adventure playground and the High Park Zoo. Due to the number of apartment buildings and condos in the High Park area, there is also a larger number of rental opportunities in this neighbourhood than some of the other west end neighbourhoods.
