The City has cancelled the proposed new basketball court at Tom Riley Park due to the upcoming Mimico Creek infrastructure project. The City is actively exploring alternative locations within the Ward to add a new basketball court.
The project continues to be paused. More information will be shared on this page as soon as it is available.
The project is paused pending additional community consultation.
The project team is revising the proposed design for the new basketball court and will engage the community for feedback in spring 2023. Information on how to participate will be shared on this page and with on-site signage. The project timeline has been updated, with construction anticipated to start in fall 2023.
As the project team works to expand basketball play opportunities for Etobicoke residents and enhance the qualities that residents enjoy in Tom Riley Park, it has received a variety of feedback from local residents and park users.
Based on public input and its ongoing design and investigative work, the project team continues to fine-tune the project plans and will provide a more detailed project update in the coming weeks. This update will include a summary of comments received from the public and responses from city staff on key themes and concerns. The signage located on-site and the project webpage will be updated shortly to reflect the latest project timeline.
Tom Riley Park is a 14.8-hectare park located at Dundas Street West and Islington Avenue that follows Mimico Creek to Bloor Street West. The park features a ball diamond, a multipurpose sports field, tennis courts, a playground and community garden.
As part of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan (FMP), the City has reviewed Toronto’s existing basketball facilities to determine if improvements and/or new facilities are required in order to keep up with demand for the sport.
