Riverdale Park, located just east of downtown Toronto in Cabbagetown, is a sprawling municipal green space divided into East and West sections by Broadview Avenue. The park spans approximately 32 hectares, offering panoramic views of the city's skyline from the East section ridge overlooking Don River Valley. It includes well-maintained sports fields, a running track, baseball diamonds, soccer pitches, and open lawns ideal for picnics and festivals.

The West section features a seasonal toboggan hill popular for winter sledding, plus playgrounds, tennis courts, and walking paths through tree-lined landscapes. Summer brings community events like outdoor movies and cultural festivals, while fall and spring offer quiet tranquility and scenic urban nature.

Operated by the City of Toronto’s Parks, Forestry & Recreation Division, the park features free admission, accessible walking routes, and ample space for casual recreation or organized sports. Transit access is excellent via nearby Broadview or Castle Frank subway stations and multiple bus routes.

Whether you're seeking active recreation, skyline panoramas, family play or seasonal events, Riverdale Park delivers diverse urban park experiences within minutes of downtown. Planning ahead for event weekends is advised as it attracts many visitors at peak times.
