| - Grenadier Pond borders High Park to the east, and the village of Swansea to the west. There are a variety of activities you can participate it throughout the year, depending on the season.
It's a great spot any time of year for taking photographs. You'll find swans building nest in the spring time, and kids skating on the ice in the winter. And speaking of, you'll find a make-shift hockey surf cleared away on the frozen ice in the winter and usually skating paths all around the pond. In the summer, you'll see people fishing all over the place.
Along the Queensway, you'll find a few benches that sit at the edge of the pond, which are great for relaxing as you take in the scenery. You can continue into High Park, and walk along the edge of the pond all the way up. During winter months, or very early mornings, you won't find many people around, and it can really feel like you're away hiking.
During the warmer months, the area around the pond can get quite busy, starting with the cherry blossom trees blooming in the spring. This of course brings a ton of garbage, although people tend to be more respectful than they are when they're downtown (when it comes to throwing away their trash properly).
Grenadier Pond is one of the best reasons to live in Swansea.
