Dr. Jose P. Rizal Statue

Step into Earl Bales Park and find this dignified bronze tribute to Dr. Jose P. Rizal — national hero of the Philippines, gifted to Toronto by the Philippine government in 1998 to mark a century of Filipino independence. It's a meaningful pause point in a beautiful park setting, offering both history and a quiet moment of reflection. A lovely spot to learn something new on an after-work stroll. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
