Cloud Forest Conservatory/Park

[smuncky]

I stumbled upon this little park by accident since it's tucked away behind the Bay building on Richmond, between Yonge and Bay. This is a great place in the city. I came a bit late though, so the greenhouse was closed (open from 10am-2:30pm). I also came back there at night, and it was just as beautiful. Enjoy.

I like that park though it could use a little TLC as it does look a bit rundown at times. And always empty save for some street people though I don't generally pass by it during business hours. Perhaps when all the Bay Adelaide towers are done it will be a become a little better used.

i did notice there was tons of graffiti on the railings and concrete which is a shame. other than that it's pretty clean in terms of garbage.

It's also used by pot-smoking Bay Streeters throughtout the day, but mostly around 5 pm.

Nice photos!

I love running water, I wish Toronto had more fountains...Im surprised that the highrises downtown down incorporate them...I realize our long winters may have something do with it...

I could see a nice fountain in the middle of the TD complex's square

Its surprising how few people even know about it, its kind of hidden away

Those rust stains are exquisite. Don't mix concrete with water.

Beautiful photos. You're not the Daily Dose guy by any chance, are you? If you're not, then he's got competition.

I've walked by a thousand times but I've never actually been in that greenhouse. Anybody? Is it the sort of place you could sit and read or is it a - go in, walk in a circle, leave - type of place?

Nice photos by the way.

The park can be quite busy at lunch but once it's dark it's taken over by the homeless who use it as a bathroom. I would like to see the Bay open up the windows on the south side of the building and make the south entrance more prominent. I think that would help the park - as will the BA centre.
