Riverdale Park

Toronto is famous in TV and cinema for standing in for other cities, most often New York. Suicide Squad, The Handmaid’s Tale, RoboCop—there’s a whole culture in Toronto of scoping out where things were filmed, and locals take great pride in pointing to the screen and finding a familiar street. Some movies, like The F Word or Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, take pride in being filmed in the city; a memorable scene from The F Word takes place in the beautiful Riverdale Park in the East End, with views of the whole city. Regardless, if you look up where your favorite flicks were filmed, odds are at least one was in Toronto—and you can visit the shooting spot.
