Downtown Toronto is surrounded on 3 sides by massive green spaces.
High Park to the West, the Don River Valley to the East and the Toronto Islands to the South
but I guess High Park would be the closest analog to those other parks you mentioned
Here is the size comparison
High Park:160 Ha
Don River Valley Park 200 Ha
Toronto islands: 332 Ha
Millennium Park, Chicago: 10 Ha
Mount Royal Park, Montreal: 280 Ha
Central Park, NYC: 340 Ha
Stanley Park, Vancouver: 405 Ha
High Park
Don Valley Ravine
Toronto Islands
