Polson Pier has a small park at the very end near the nightclub that is ideal for taking dawn/dusk and night photos of the city. There is no parking along the street leading to it, so park at the T&T Supermarket on Cherry St., then walk down Polson st. 

One of my favorite parks in Toronto, Berczy Park boasts the most amazing water fountain you’ll ever see in your life. It is purely dedicated to the love of dogs with a token and symbolic gesture, to our other beloved family pet, the cat. Let’s see if you can find them! Berczy Park is named after...

I'd heard two things about this particular waterfall before seeing it: the flame isn't always lit (so bring a lighter) and the current depends on the rain.  Parking was simple; the falls is in the corner of Chestnut Ridge Park and there are many entrances, but the hike itself has it's own parking...

Can get pretty busy as it's becoming more and more popular nowadays with travelers, which can take away from getting a good photo...
