Living at Bay and College means you’re at the heart of everything! Universities to the West, shopping to the North, and the financial district to the South! But amidst all the excitement lies the beautiful and relaxing Allan Gardens. This nature conservancy is over 100 years old, with over 16,000 square feet of greenhouse coverage. From seasonal to tropical plants, this public garden is open all-year round. The garden even offers 60-minute tours from September to May to showcase all the wonderful sights and smells of the various plants and flowers such as orchids, cacti, and hibiscus.

Live in a condo with a dog? Allan Gardens provides the added benefit of a leash-free dog park, which has become the frequent playground for countless dog-owners allover Toronto. Ensuring that your pets get enough exercise while living downtown is truly a worry of the past when residing at Lumiere. At less than a kilometer away, Allan Gardens provides the perfect environment to wind down with mans best friend, and perhaps even meet new friends by socializing with other dog owners. Take advantage of a suburban-like amenity in the midst of Toronto’s hustle and bustle by frequenting the gorgeous Allan Gardens!
