Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Oshawa

"St. Lawrence Market is perhaps the most famous market in Toronto, and locals regularly shop its stalls for produce, meats, cheeses, and more. While the focus of your trip should be browsing the dozens of food stalls, it’s interesting to take a look at the architecture of the St. Lawrence Market, too. Though the current main building was erected in 1902, part of the Old City Hall, which dates to 1845, was incorporated into it."

"If you want to take pictures in a place that shows the more classic side of Toronto, pay a visit to St. Lawrence Market. Its stone archways, limestone structures and floral displays are definitely an excellent backdrop for a stylish city shoot. It’s a great place to take pictures for your photography portfolio, modelling gigs or engagement."

"Old York's sensational St Lawrence Market has been a neighborhood meeting place for over two centuries. The restored, high-trussed 1845 South Market houses more than 120 specialty food stalls and shops: cheese... Top ChoiceTower in Entertainment & Financial Districts"

"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."

"The fore court of the Toronto city hall, with an area of 12 acres is the Canada’s largest city square designed by the Finnish architect Viljo Revell open to the public in 1965, an icon of modernist architecture along with the city hall. Place for art installations, several festivals during the year, ice skating on the square reflecting pool during the winter and a vibrant space in Toronto and worth visiting."

"Start your Toronto visit in the downtown core at Nathan Phillips Square. This public space is a popular gathering place for Torontonians. It is easily recognized by the gigantic Freedom Arches over the reflecting pool and the 3D TORONTO sign. Together with City Hall, they make an iconic landmark in the city worth visiting."

"Conveniently located right across from Christie subway station, you’ll find multifaceted Christie Pits Park. This large patch of green space has a lot going for it and is justifiably popular all year round thanks to the Alex Duff Memorial Pool (complete with water slide) in the summer and toboggan-worthy hills in the winter. The park is also home to three baseball diamonds, a multi-sport field, basketball and volleyball courts, an artificial ice rink, a children's playground and labyrinth, a splash pad, a wading pool, and a community garden."

"Christie Pits' baseball diamonds gained notoriety when Nazi sympathizers attacked a Jewish baseball team in 1933. But the park has risen above this historical stain to become a summer scene unto itself, one thrumming with life and embracing a local community vibe. The park has plenty of benches for a picnic and a craft beer (I think you get Toronto’s park vibe at this point), and if you can manage it, checking out a free movie in Christie Pits is a quintessential Toronto summer experience."

"Located in the central hub of Koreatown, Christie Pits is another one of Toronto’s most well-known parks. This 8.9-hectare park at Bloor Street West and Christie Pits is just as convenient to get to as it is beautiful to explore. With its own baseball diamonds, multi-sport field, basketball and volleyball courts, ice rink, splash pad and pool, Christie Pits offers a plethora of things to do."

"This popular Leslieville brunch spot got a new bedtime and west-end digs. Both locations are open from morning to late and focus on rustic, Mediterranean home cooking. From towering sandwiches to those drool-worthy sweet potato beignets with maple dipping sauce, chef Ariel Coplan constantly revamps the menu to incorporate seasonal ingredients."

"Ital Vital is a Caribbean restaurant in Scarborough that you must try. It’s one of the best vegan restaurants in Toronto, and they serve a different menu each day (posted on their Instagram).
