A field map of cherry blossom sites across the City of Toronto.
This map covers cherry blossom sites within the City of Toronto. It was built to help people find and navigate these sites during the short spring bloom window. Unlike a simple pin map, it outlines each viewing area as a polygon so you can see where the trees are and plan how to move through larger parks like High Park or Centennial Park.
The map includes 20 sites: 17 from the City of Toronto's official cherry blossom page, plus 3 additional sites confirmed through public photos and on-the-ground sources.

Each polygon was manually traced to approximate the cherry tree viewing area. Starting from the City of Toronto cherry blossom page, which lists all 17 official sites with descriptions and approximate pin locations, each polygon was then refined using satellite imagery (Google Maps and Google Earth, including historical imagery), Google Street View, and publicly available photos, videos, and articles. Open tree datasets and LiDAR canopy layers were reviewed but not relied on as primary sources. The three off-list sites (Ramsden Park, Toronto Music Garden, Front Campus at U of T) were added based on the same public evidence.
Pink shaded areas are approximate outlines, not precise tree locations. Trees may not cover the entire shaded area, and some trees at a site may fall outside it. Treat each polygon as a general guide.
The bloom forecast is an estimate, not a guarantee. It is based on about 20 years of peak bloom records at High Park, adjusted for known site-specific differences. Actual bloom timing varies with weather. 2026 sighting data is gathered from publicly available sources and may be incomplete.

Site descriptions and tree counts adapted from the City of Toronto cherry blossoms page.
Bloom timing references include the High Park Nature Centre cherry blossom tracker.
Bloom stage definitions adapted from Sakura in High Park.
Viewing area boundaries and 2026 bloom sightings are both based on publicly available photos, posts, satellite imagery, and community trackers. Many thanks to the Toronto cherry blossom community for making this possible.

Saw a cherry tree blooming somewhere, or noticed a closure or access problem? Send me the details and I'll add it to the map.
📷 A photo link really helps — bloom stage is hard to verify without one. Attach an image or paste a link to an Instagram post, tweet, or any public photo.
