Free admission. Parking though is not free. Lots of parking space. There's public washroom. There's a cafe at the innermost part of the park. Since it's fall season the colors are everywhere. There's lot of people taking photoshoot in this park. It's a really nice park and not that crowded. Trail is very light and suitable for all ages. Been here twice and there's lot of changes with the trail maybe because it depends on the season. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful park.

Edwards Gardens is undoubtedly one of the best gardens in the city of Toronto, and being home to the Toronto Botanical Garden makes it even more special. The landscape here is absolutely stunning, with a diverse collection of plants and flowers that create a picturesque setting. I highly recommend a visit to experience the natural beauty and tranquility this place offers.

It’s a nice small well maintained park behind the Bridle Path with a decent amount of paid parking. The trails are a bit longer. You do see a lot of people coming here to take photos for special occasions.

The place is easily accessible with plenty of parking lots. I went on a Sunday and the parking costed 2.5$ per hour. Be ready to walk around a lot. The maintenance is perfect and there are plenty of beautiful places. There are many beautiful flowers, large trees, lush green lawns and plenty of benches to sit and relax. Lot of people where doing all kinds of photo shoots here. Plenty of natural sceneries. The restrooms are nice and clean. There is a bloom cafe inside. But I didn’t buy anything here. I just wish the parking was cheaper or free. Definite recommend to visit here.

Beautiful garden within Metro Toronto. Plenty parking places, lots of hiking and biking trails. Excellence place for a summer day outing with family and friends. Love the place!

Great little outdoor garden for the public. Good use of tax dollars, little taste of the gardens in Paris even though it's very small. Leads to a nice walking trail. Parking is 2.50$ per hour

Very scenic and relaxing place. Oxygen rich atmosphere, makes you feel refreshed. Highly recommended for nature lovers. There are also hiking trails.

Wedding parties and photographers are what I remember most about Edwards Gardens. It’s been a really long time here and I love the upgrades and upkeep and care this place has gotten! So many places to take amazing photos and walk around. This place is an oasis in the city and connected to the downtown bike paths.
Stay for an 1hr or 2hr if you’re walking. Longer if you’re biking since you can catch a lot got the bike trails. Make sure you check in advance if there’s some concert series to enjoy too.
Bring a picnic basket and a blanket and just enjoy the grounds. If you liked the Niagara’s Botanical Gardens, come see here too (albeit smaller).

Absolutely beautiful landmark botanical gardens with hidden pathways. Must visit for nature lovers. No pets allowed here due to the gardens . There is a hidden Cafe with basics for a nice chat or catchup in the open air and to enjoy the beautiful flowers.

Beautiful garden having numerous scenic spots. We went there for see the fall colors but sadly it started raining once we reached there but still the view was breathtaking.
The park has mini trails and cycling path to enjoy. It also has a mini waterfall with ducks.
A perfect place for mini picnics in the lap of nature.
No entrance fee, only parking fee or $2.5/ hour.
