Trinity Bellwoods Park

This guide to Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto opens with Bishop John Strachan sailing to England in 1850, furious that religion had been banned from Toronto's only university, to beg a royal charter for a school of his own. He bought twenty acres along Garrison Creek and raised Gothic-towered Trinity College here by 1852. You'll hear how the college's fortunes turned within half a century, and what the city later did with the creek beneath this ground. Walk toward Queen Street to see what still marks the spot.
