Toronto’s cherry blossom trees are set to hit their peak this week, thanks to an early burst of summer-like weather and the city is restricting road access to High Park ahead of the expected crowds.
“To help manage the volume of visitors to the park, vehicle access and parking inside High Park will be restricted starting Thursday, April 20 for the duration of peak bloom, with the exception of TTC Wheel-Trans vehicles,” the city said in a release.
Tens of thousands of people flock to High Park annually to view the beautiful blossoms, which typically peak in early spring.While High Park is most closely associated with the cherry blossom, or Sakura trees, they can be found in many other parks across the city. There are 15 parks across Toronto which feature cherry blossom trees.
Today they have become a favourite subject for photographers, and those seeking selfies for social media. Throngs people could already be seen in some Toronto parks gathering around the trees and taking pictures this week. While the trees are beautiful to look at, the city asks people not to climb on them, pluck the blossoms or shake the branches.Cherry blossom trees are seen in bloom at Ramsden Park during a bout of summer-like weather Sunday, April 16, 2023.
