Things to See in Queen’s Park
Queen's Park is a public space in central Toronto, with green spaces and historic buildings surrounding the Ontario Legislative Building. You can walk around to see the exterior of the legislature, statues and nearby provincial government facilities.
The Ontario Legislative Building and the surrounding architecture
This is the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The building was designed by American architect Richard Alfred Waite in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
This is a statue of John A. Macdonald. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he served as Canada’s first prime minister. He is known as the “Father of Canadian Confederation.”
For information about attractions, food and transportation in Glasgow, see the article below.
Known as the Whitney Block, this is an office building for the Ontario government. A plaque marks the site of King's College, the predecessor of the University of Toronto.
Queen's Park is adjacent to the University of Toronto's St. George Campus, so you can explore both during the same walk. The university's historic architecture is introduced in the article about the University of Toronto.
