Withrow Park is a large, multipurpose park located in Toronto's Riverdale neighborhood. Located just a few minutes walk south of the Danforth, it boasts an off-leash dog area, a fenced and dog-free children's playground and summer wading pool, a clubhouse for indoor classes and community group use, plus plenty of outdoor space for sports and recreation including tennis, tobogganing, hockey, baseball and soccer.
Frequently busy with both locals and visitors, the park's design is a perfect fit for the family-friendly, dog-friendly, healthy-living vibe of the Riverdale neighborhood. Found between Carlaw Avenue and Logan Avenue, the park is tucked just far enough off the major arteries that it's easy to get to, but isn't swamped with the sounds of city traffic. Of course that also means you can miss it if you don't know it's there!
With convenient park amenities such as washrooms, water fountains and plenty of benches - both for picnics and plain old sitting - Withrow Park is a great place to relax or get active, or both! Pockets of naturalized areas and gardens add to the charm of this centerpiece of the Riverdale area.
