Our favourite local historian.... tonight!
Thrilled to be invited by @CSDA_CCAD to present 'Where Do the Children Play?' on Oct 26 as part of the Ornamentum Lecture Series. Get acquainted with 6 distinctive play spaces in eastern Canada like St James Park Playground, Toronto - eventbrite.ca/e/ornamentum-l…
Today's view from above. Beautiful day.
Tomorrow is our last Park Chat of the season! Join historian Adam Bunch for a walk filled with true tales of love and romance, stories about lustful affairs and shocking scandals, lifelong devotion and tragic heartbreak—and discussing how TO's attitudes of love have evolved.
Thanks to all who came out to yesterday's Park Chats, with landscape designer, Tim Edwards. We learned about how the Victorian esthetic made its way into garden design in England, the characteristics of those gardens and examples of such in our St. James Park garden + much more.
GARDEN PARK CHAT - TONIGHT! It's going to be a beautiful evening for our Park Chat on the Formal Garden at 7 pm. Perfect for photography. Join Tim Edwards as he talks about the design and history of the garden and its plants. Meet at the Pavilion.
As promised, hot off the press, we just published our Summer edition of The Fountain Pen - all the news you need to know about St. James Park. mailchi.mp/7ec09388fee5/t…
Today's Boot Camp class cancelled because of the... uh... POURING RAIN and THUNDER! Sorry folks, we'll meet up next week. @OldTownToronto @PlaceMadeCo
Here's hoping the weather will cooperate this evening as we have free BOOT CAMP with Rolin McQuade at 6 pm. Meet at the pavilion.
The '23 summer edition of the FSJP newsletter—The Fountain Pen—is nearly done and will be published later today. To learn about upcoming events in the park and other general park news, subscribe now --->eepurl.com/gkT4Ej.
DYK that the garden in St. James Park is technically no longer a Victorian garden? Come learn why this Wednesday at 7pm at our Park Chat on the Formal Garden. Meet at the Pavilion. fb.me/e/1mlo46dxM
REMINDER: there is NO Music in the Park performance tonight, Thursday Oct 10th. Next Thursday, Aug 17, music returns with the not-to-be-missed funk band Steinwall.
Tonight, Music in the Park at the Michael Comstock Pavilion features Old Man Flanagan's Ghost. See you there! 7 pm.
It's 2 pm and time to start planning out the rest of your day. Make sure that includes Yoga in the Park at 6 pm! All levels. Meet at the Pavilion. @OldTownToronto @PlaceMadeCo
This Wednesday Jul 26 at 7 pm in St. James Park, our Park Chat Series leads off with Tree Talk! Let us know you can come: fb.me/e/VKo4EDH0
The bad news... JER had to stop playing this evening's musical performance because of the storm. The good news? We just learned that Bard in St. James Park, produced by Dauntless City Theatre, is back again this summer! oldtowntoronto.ca/bard-in-st-jam…
Did you get a chance to try one of the three NIA Dance classes by Martha Randall? Who needs workouts that feel like drudgery? Nia dance is fun, fun and fun! Thank you @martharadallnia for your instruction, enthusiasm, and fantastic music sound-track! @OldTownToronto @PlaceMadeCo
