Cloud Gardens — Attraction in Toronto

Update on July 2023: The Garden is not quite finished, and is still a work in progress. But a part of it is now open and you can sit down on benches. Looking forward to it being totally complete.

Update on December 2018: Due to construction at an adjacent site, the park is now closed. Expected to open in the fall of 2022. See image of construction notice uploaded.

A green oasis right in the middle of the financial district. It has nooks and crannies throughout, so be careful when you visit. I found drug needles and discarded clothing and garbage on the upper levels. The park isn't well maintained, which is such a shame. I didn't feel comfortable visiting this park - not even on an early Sunday morning - because of people...

I was so looking forward to checking this out and it is the saddest most repulsive scene :( Walking through at 10am with 2 kids I saw 2 men shooting heroine. Not only that the entire area smells of urine and you cannot walk 2 steps without seeing broken booze and beer bottles. There is so much litter it actually resembles a dump. As a proud downtown Toronto girl I am very ashamed of this site as what a great thought. Perhaps it needs a full time security guard? At least have someone come clean up the litter. It’s a sad scene-...

Beautiful indoor oasis, where the air is fresh and the sounds of the city are muted. I came here to relax during lunch and it was wonderful. There were some "sketchy" people in the area, but "sketchy" people are everywhere in the city and if you keep to yourself they keep to themselves as well. I like that they're only open during the weekday lunch hours because I'm sure the plants would be vandalized/disrupted otherwise. Good place for a quick getaway...
