Talk:High Park

Former City of Toronto
"the former city of Toronto"? What is it now? RickK 06:34, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I meant the "old" city of Toronto; that is, the city within the former boundaries that existed before the merger. It's fine, though; the new wording works too. Darkcore 05:40, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Cherry Trees
Can you write something about cherry trees (2.000) donated after IIWW by Japanese?

Here is some information about Cherry Trees. Cherry Trees are also known as Sakura trees. In 1959, the first Japanese Somei-Yoshino Cherry Tree was planted in High Park from the citizens of Tokyo. Another 34 cherrry trees were donated to High Park in 2001 from the Sakura project.
 * Does "...planted in High Park from the citizens of Tokyo" mean the trees were donated AND planted by citizens of Tokyo? Or just that they were donated by citizens of Tokyo? Orestgtd (talk) 00:47, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

It's quite important - similar to famous Washington SAKURA - you can enjoy it in Toronto, though practically no one knows about it.

Information about blooming (and history I suppose) you can get from Nikka Times (Toronto) - web site is in Japanese, but you can phone them www.nikkatimes.ca (probably phone number is:416-923-1970)

By the way probably you don't have also information about Peter Pan statue here (Glenn Gould Park at the intersection of Avenue Rd and St. Clair). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.25.229.218 (talk • contribs)

Indian Road
Indian Road: not really a residential area, but part of the High Park neighbourhood immediately East of the park... wonder how this can be reworded better? Krupo 03:38, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)


 * "High Park lends its name to the many residential areas that border it. Indian Road, Village by the Park, and Swansea can all be considered part of High Park. Only the areas immediately north of the park, along High Park Avenue, and west of the :park, along High Park Boulevard, can claim no other name."


 * I'm sorry, but this paragraph makes almost no sense at all to me. As Krupo notes, "Indian Road" is not a residential area (as the above implies), it is a street, and having lived in the area for more than 20 years (including on Indian Road) this is the first and only time I have heard it described in this way. It should also be remembered that Indian Road got its name not because of some connection to High Park, but because it was an ancient Indian trail which connected to the ancient routes where the Junction is now, from the Davenport escarpment to the east to the trails going to the Humber in the west.


 * The next sentence is incomprehensible.


 * As anyone with a map handy can tell, High Park Avenue runs north off of Bloor, immediately north of the park, High Park Blvd runs east off of Parkside to Roncesvalles, and it runs west into the park itself. High Park Gardens runs east off of Parkside as well, and is immediately south of Howard Park Avenue, named for the founder of the Park. (As is Howard Public School)


 * In terms of what part of the city this is or was, High Park (at least most of it, I have to verify this), was part of Brockton which became part of Toronto in (I think) 1879. There was never a "High Park" per se, unlike Brockton, Parkdale and Swansea.


 * As for "...can claim no other name," I can't figure out what that is supposed to mean.

Images
Way too many images in the article. That's what a link to the Commons is for. And none of the High Park neighbourhood, which appears also to be the subject of this article. I am going to cull some of the images, improve the selection, and upload those that are removed to the Commons. Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Some Context To Consider When Editing Toronto Native Historical Articles
In my opinion those editors who are interested in contributing to articles regarding historical Iroquoian/Mississauga cultural matters in the Toronto region in general, including the past habitation of High Park may be interested in reading the following. A quick Internet search for Mr. "Redwolf" [Nexus news is best] and connected interests, indicates to me that many of the (in my opinion) "questionable" editing choices in Toronto regional historical native articles, over the past while, reflect a theoretical bias toward the ideas of a U.S. based group who call themselves the "Erie Moundbuilders Tribal Nation", with whom Mr. "Redwolf" apparently now publicly self identifies. Those of you who have edited articles in the recent past on these subjects will probably quickly recognize this group. (see news story link above and past versions and discussion pages of the Neutral Nation, Erie nation and Teiaiagon articles.) regards Deconstructhis (talk) 22:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
