Cherry Blossom Season is Coming!

Cherry blossoms (Sakura trees) will be appearing at locations across the city over the coming weeks. Cherry blossoms typically last four to 10 days and blooms are expected to peak this year in late April to early May, depending on weather and neighbourhood conditions. There are more than a dozen locations to enjoy this annual rite of spring, many of which are easily accessible by public transit. Learn more on the City’s Cherry Blossoms webpage.

Can I pick the cherry blossoms?

To help keep the trees healthy for our future enjoyment, please stay on paved pathways and trails, do not climb the cherry blossom trees, remove blossoms or branches and use designated bins for litter and recycling. 

Are there any access restrictions at High Park?

To help manage the volume of High Park visitors, vehicle access and parking inside the park will be restricted for the duration of peak bloom (TTC Wheel-Trans vehicles excepted). Consider taking TTC, riding your bike or walking. Remember, vehicle restrictions implemented as part of the High Park Movement Strategy are already in effect every weekend throughout the year.

Is High Park the only place to see cherry blossoms in Toronto?

There are more than a dozen City-park locations to enjoy cherry blossoms across the city including Centennial Park, Edwards Garden, Cedarvale Park, Trinity Bellwoods Park and Cedar Ridge Park. There are also public locations such as York University campus, Exhibition grounds, and the Scarborough and St. George campus locations of University of Toronto.
