Parking

As you know, the Toronto Botanical Garden has been undergoing extensive parking renovation. Alternate parking options include street parking on Banbury Drive and Blaine Drive, which are directly opposite the TBG off Lawrence, and streets running off them. Please note that although there are no posted signed restrictions on these streets (with the exception of Sundays from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on Banbury and Blaine), there is an implied three-hour parking limit. You will also be able to park at the St. Bonaventure School and St. Bonaventure Church parking lots, located just south of us off Leslie.
