This walk will circle the square making up Allan Gardens and end up in front of the pavilion.

 

Attention will be paid to the architecture of four of Toronto's oldest churches. It will pause in front of the site of the old Central Hospital, pass the former home of John Ross Robertson who helped build the Hospital for Sick Children and nod at the site of the old Victoria Skating Rink.

 

On the south side of Gerrard we will note a series of Indigenous social services before walking north on Jarvis to view the west side of the park. On reaching the pavilion, we will examine its architecture, look back at previous buildings, and look forward to the future changes.
