Provincial parks

There are three provincially owned parks in the City of Toronto.

Parks that are owned by the Government of Ontario include:

• Ontario Place — artificially constructed former amusement park and entertainment and event facility on the waterfront south of Exhibition Place and is being considered for redevelopment
• Queen's Park — park setting on the south and north ends of the Ontario Legislative Building. The southern portion of the park is owned by the provincial government, while the northern portion of the park is owned by the University of Toronto and leased to the municipal government for 999 years; not to be confused with Queen's Greenbelt in North York
• Trillium Park — artificially constructed park with a natural-looking landscape planted with native tree and shrub species; built on the site of a former Ontario Place parking lot

Federal parks

There are three federally owned parks in the City of Toronto, including one national park managed by Parks Canada, a federal agency of the Government of Canada.

Parks owned by the federal government include:

• Downsview Park — converted military base CFB Downsview/Downsview Airport in North York
• Harbourfront Park — waterfront promenade and urban park amongst residential and commercial development along Queens Quay West
• Rouge National Urban Park — a national urban park and nature preserve centred around the Rouge Valley with some agricultural uses

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) (an agency of the provincial government) is one of 36 conservation authorities in Ontario, Canada with a jurisdiction covering 3,467 square kilometres (1,339 sq mi) over nine different watersheds. The TRCA operates a number of conservation areas in the Toronto region, including three within the City of Toronto limits:

• Black Creek Pioneer Village primarily in North York
• Tommy Thompson Park (Leslie Street Spit) on the Toronto waterfront
• Humber Bay Shores Waterfront Park — a park linking City-owned Palace Pier Park and Humber Bay Park East on the south side of Marine Parade Drive to Park Lawn Road in Etobicoke.

TRCA briefly managed part of Rouge Park before it was transferred to Parks Canada.
