Riverdale Park and Necropolis - Toronto Hotels .com

Located between Broadview Avenue and Cabbagetown, Riverdale Park is a picturesque park that is a favorite recreational spot with locals. The park is split into two sections by the shimmering Don River, and houses a variety of different playing fields, including spaces set up for soccer, baseball, and even ultimate Frisbee. Swimming pools, tennis courts, and an ice rink are also open for active fun. The park is home to the Riverdale Farm, a petting zoo perfect for younger children.

Riverdale's neighbor is the Necropolis, one of Toronto's most famous cemeteries. While visiting cemeteries might not suit everyone's fancy, there is a certain rustic charm to this particular cemetery that will captivate even the most hesitant visitor. With its high Victorian and Gothic architecture, stained-glass chapel, and ivy-lined brick walls, the cemetery is a must-visit for any lover of fine architecture. In addition, some of the most famous former residents of Toronto have been laid to rest in the Necropolis, offering even more incentive to visit.
