Queen's Park

Queen’s Park is wonderful to relax and enjoy the cool shades of trees during summer. Old trees are also home to a sizeable colony of black and grey squirrels and one can enjoy their antics endlessly.

The northern portion of the park is undergoing several improvements these days and most of its green spaces are closed to the public. This sign made me stop and take a snap as these acronyms reminded me of my previous department in Pakistan.

At its northern tip is the war memorial of the 48th Highlanders. 

This equestrian statue of Edward VII was originally erected in Delhi, India. It was moved here in 1969.

Alfred Purdy’s bronze statue in Queen’s Park. Purdy is considered the national poet of Canada.
