Allan Gardens today is alive with energy, community, and possibility. Whether people come to the park to see plants, visit the farmers’ market, or attend a cultural event, it’s a true gathering place in downtown Toronto, and it will always be that way.

Exciting things are on the horizon for Allan Gardens. From new (cultural) programs, to the future conservatory expansions, we’re cultivating moments of joy, connection, and discovery in the heart of Toronto.
