The City provided an analysis of the neighbourhood surrounding the development site to understand the existing amenities near the new park location. Based on this information, it was determined that the following features would be included in the new park:

  • Children’s water play with sculptural elements
  • Inviting and resilient sculptural wood seating
  • Display planting mounds for visual enjoyment and wind mitigation
  • A decorative lighting program
  • A pedestrian path system through the park to improve overall access
  • Widening the sidewalk/bike route along Broadway Avenue

As part of the planning process for a new residential development located at 110-120 Broadway Ave., the developer is dedicating 746m2 of land to the City of Toronto for a neighbourhood park. The development area for this project has been identified as a priority for parkland.

The City is working with the developer on the design and construction of the new park. The park will provide various new amenities that will complement the existing play elements in the surrounding neighbourhood. The new park will include:

  • A children’s water play feature
  • Sculptural seatwalls
  • Display gardens
  • Seating and picnic areas
  • New tree plantings
