David A. Balfour Park

This is a fantastic park! I went there with my family, the"foot traffic" was moderate to low on a Saturday afternoon. The washrooms were clean for the kids and I. The trail is so intriguing and tranquil as it is quiet and peaceful there is a creek with a steady stream going through. This park is a gem in the city I'm glad I went, I will definitely go back.

Great little spot in the city. A lot of less fortunate people in the area. Avoid them as they are harmless. Some of them just wonder around and have mental issues, that is maily their choice. Do not engage and you'll be fine. Other than them the park is kept clean and they do maintain it. Parking availabe nearby on green p or the hospital nearby.

Quiet park in midtown, away from the city noise. Lots of benches to rest and talk or read. Paved walking track for your exercise that goes around the entire park.
Quiet garden area to relax.
Play area with swings and slides for the little ones. Public washrooms available.
Highly enjoyed the park.

Beautiful park. Nice place to walk around and enjoy the beauties. Lots of trails are there to explore.

This review is for the Trail that runs behind the Park, going south. It's all nature and tranquility. Hard to believe such a place exists right in the busy hub of Midtown Toronto. Amazing place for a hike, jog or even for the bike, but keep in mind it's going to be a very rough terrine for the bike and lots of uphill, stairs etc to go through. Still could be a fun activity. Depending on the time you may find lots of other hikers and dog walkers. I'll avoid it at night fall as it's quite deep and gets really dark. The trail runs a few km but you'll see some exit stairs (or a path) after every km or so.

Nice ravine walk in Midtown T. O. Lots of dogs off leash though. Respectful dog owners will put dogs on leash when they see others coming.

Took some pics under the bridge, I'd rate it very dangerous but the Tinder pics will be worth it.

It feels refreshing to " escape" the city, even though you're only blocks away from it. A great many walkers, runners, dog owners looking to rejuvenate themselves in these uncertain times.

Amazing park one of my favourites in the city nice big scenic ravine with lots of nature. Under the bridges there are lots of urban arts to take pictures with too!

Beautiful park stretching down the Rosedale and Summerhill areas. Adds very nice depth to the green scenery. The park itself feels like a hidden valley of sorts with long, dirt paths leading as far as the eye can see. If you’re in Toronto, check it out!

This park is beautiful, well maintained and so refreshing. There's a ravine trail that connects from the little park besides, and this park as well. It's just an amazing experience. It's green, beautiful and lush. Although I think a little bit maintenance is required in some parts of it.

There Is a difference between feeling like you were one in nature in the middle of the City and being in the poorly maintained park.unfortunately this one is the latter. Many trails are destroyed or under maintenance without actually being fixed. It has a lot of potential potential, but it needs a lot of work. It could be a wonderful escape from the city. Also even though it’s the only area all the dogs I’ve met more off leash

A very scenic hike in a steep valley. The side trails are getting a little treacherous with fallen trees and water washing away parts of the trail. But, the main trail is still in good condition.

It's a nice break from the concrete and steel.but the trails could use some work. Very dangerous.

Nice for a some hiking in the city with the feeling of no being in a city:) i went in autumn and all the trees look beautiful, take your camera and get nice pictures.

It will be better when the park actually opens again in 2020 I hope! It was a very nice park with a lot of space.

Some debri on trails. Not all trails loop, easy for beginners to lose orientation. Many asked for directions from me, although it was my first time there

A nice little escape in nature in the middle of a busy city. Not the most beautiful park I've ever been to (and it gives off a little bit of a creepy vibe) but it was a great hike for a day.

Beautiful place with lots of places to take pictures and enjoy nature. Some places closer to the bridge has a bunch of broken glass. So just watch for that. Also some of the stairs are steep and have been affected by a storm so watch where you walk on the stairs. Some of the railings were down and so were a few trees. Overall it’s a great park.

Great walking paths. Beautiful scenery. Some of the paths could use a little work to improve their drainage. Wait a day or two after a heavy rain to avoid slipping on some of the terrain.

A lovely little waterfall but like so many places in north america, there's garbage left behind
