This is a small little park that my girlfriend and I happened to stumble upon when we were exploring Toronto. It's got a few cool things to see and take pictures with / of. The primary one being of course, the large fountain covered in dog statues (and one cat). Very quiet, peaceful place and the fountain makes you laugh, or at least smile. It's a bit silly, and very creative. I'm glad we stumbled across this small park.

Believe it or not, Berczy Park is my favorite place in Toronto. Ever since the "dog fountain" was built at this place, I never miss a single opportunity to go and spend at least a half of hour here and it doesn't matter if it's summer or winter. I have been here every day during my current visit to Toronto. It's relaxing to sit here and watch people taking pictures by the fountain, walking their dogs, sitting and talking... Berczy Park is literally an oasis of calm in the middle of the big city. In winter, the "fountain dogs" have scarves tied around their necks and the park is decorated with Christmas lights. In the summer, the water gushes from the dogs' mouths. When I wrote my first review of this place a few years ago, I mentioned that the fountain is made up of statues of dogs looking at a golden bone placed at the top of the fountain. And that there is one cat that doesn't care about the bone and just looks somewhere else. The author of the fountain himself replied to this review and pointed out to me that the cat was looking at a specific place. And yes, he looks at... No no, I won't tell. When you're in Berczy Park, try to find what the cat is looking at. :-)

This park has improved since our last visit in 2016. It is a few minutes walk from the Hockey Hall of Fame along Front Street. The great Gooderham Building is at one end and a couple of nice pieces of public art there are interesting along with the fountain featuring dogs having a drink. A fine place for a short relax.
