Third Garden

Wander through this quietly compelling public art installation nestled within Colonel Samuel Smith Park, where cast iron seating forms and bronze-inlaid concrete pavers invite you to slow down and read between the lines — literally. Commissioned by the City of Toronto in 1999, Third Garden by artists Millie Chen and Warren Quigley blurs the line between sculpture, landscape, and language. It's the kind of site-specific work that feels different every time you visit, depending on the light, the season, and your mood. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
