High Park is known for its large public park of the same name, High Park, which is one of the largest parks within the city limits and a major attraction for locals and tourists alike. The park offers a wide range of recreational activities and natural features, including hiking trails, a lake, sports fields, playgrounds, gardens, a zoo, and several cultural and historical sites.
The neighborhood is primarily residential, with a mix of older, Victorian-era homes and newer, modern houses. The area has a diverse population and that reflects in all the all small business locally owned and operated along Roncesvalles. High Park is well-connected to public transportation, with several bus and subway routes running through the area and it's relatively easy to get around by bike or on foot. The neighborhood is also close to the Junction, a popular shopping and entertainment district, which offers additional shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
