Yes, this is the week when Pokemon Go landed in parks with a mighty thump. You can choose to chase animated creatures, OR you can dance on a porch, invent a game, learn about trees in one of the city’s most spectacular parks or watch a movie in the open air. Whatever you choose, we won’t judge you. Here’s our picks for this weekend. Be sure to check out our full events calendar for everything that’s happening in Toronto parks this weekend. Don’t forget to submit yours!
