six personal opinion about Toronto's parks.

Toronto's parks are huge spaces for funny diversion and family integration.

I would like more BBQ places, more picnic tables.

I would like to see less people play computer games in the parks.

I would like to more people doing exercise and practicing sports.

In Toronto always there is a closer park to your home.

In the parks there are enough washrooms for all people.
