Sherwood Park itself is one of the most attractive features of the area. Widely considered to be one of the best and most picturesque parks in Toronto, Sherwood Park has an extensive network of hiking, running, and cycling trails, as well as a fenced off-leash area for dogs.
Children will love the over-sized playground and wading pools, which operate throughout the summer. Picnic tables are also located throughout the beautifully landscaped outdoor space. Parking is free and ample, and easy to find near the park’s main entrance.
Though North Toronto’s neighbourhoods are often grouped under the “midtown” umbrella, Sherwood Park has a distinctive character that defies easy categorization. Its homes have timeless beauty, with many fine examples of Tudor Revival, Georgian, Colonial, and English Cottage architecture.
Most of the homes in the area were built during the first half of the 20th century, but in recent years, the area has seen an increasing amount of new development. Many of the newer buildings were designed to seamlessly match the neighbourhood’s historic appeal.
