Located in the 'heart' of Toronto, multi-award winning Love Park features a massive heart shaped pond encrusted in shimmering red glass.
Landscaping, modular seating, and an artistic shade structure make Love Park a people friendly oasis.
Hidden in the park are 9 bronze animal sculptures by Marina Guglielmi and Tyler Balko.
Each sculpture is based on a Canadian animal, each waiting to be found, and each excited to be played with......
Can you find them all?
