It was a few years ago that we stumbled upon a sculpture garden. The day was getting late at the time, and we were exhausted from a full day of travelling and exploring. We both agreed that we would save this destination for another trip.
I had made a mental note of the location, but by the time I got home, I had forgotten most of the details. It was in the Toronto area, by a medical building, possibly a hospital. This mysterious sculpture garden eluded our discovery for years.
Then:
Eureka!
I found it!
I mapped it on our list of places to visit, and we just happened to be in the Toronto area for a Doors Open Event. We would explore this sculpture garden that we skipped years back.
But, alas, this would not be the case.
I was in the right spot, but I could not find it.
I would go home, dismayed at the missed opportunity to see art. I would research it all again, and then I realized my error; I went to the front of the hospital, not the side.
Ugh!
A month or so later, we were in the area again, and this time, I had us walk to the side of the hospital, where we discovered the sculpture garden.
Again, I was dismayed!
This is different from the sculpture garden that we skipped years ago.
It was much better!
We had discovered a much different and more unique garden of colourful sculptures than we had expected. They were all in human form, bright and posing in positions of varying styles.
This was indeed a find.
It was interesting that some of the sculptures’ actions would have had them wind up in a hospital. But they were all joyful and did lend an escape for those viewing it.
We would stay and admire all of them. Yet, I would leave this place wondering where on earth was the garden that I missed really was located.
- This is a free-access site that is located at the side of the hospital. Walk along the path that parallels the highway to find it.
- Free parking on the street is very limited.
- Expect to spend 20 minutes at this location.
