rfmcdonaldToronto maintains a fairly extensive network of parks, some of them block-size grassy spaces, others--High Park comes to mind--vast spaces of quasi-wilderness. Dovercourt Park, the nearest park to me, located squarely in the middle of Dovercourt Village, is much more the first type of park.
The last time that I walked through Dovercourt, it was January and everything was ice. There had been a certain amount of snowfall, there had been a brief bout of warm temperatures, and the melted snow solidified into a crusty sheet of ice covering the park that I could easily have slipped on, skating under the moonlight in my sensible boots. It was beautiful, if barren.
Dovercourt Park looks much different now. It isn't very pretty, true, with the straw-coloured dead grass on the ground and the budless trees with branches reaching up into the sky. Still, it's a change in an environment that until recently was changeless. Life will start moving again.
