The project team is finalizing the park design, which is planned to include an off-leash area. The final design will be shared on this page.
In spring 2022, the City collected feedback on the proposed design for the park to help inform the development of a preferred design. These options were created after having worked closely with the local community, Councillor’s Office and stakeholders to understand their vision for the park. Feedback was collected through a virtual community meeting and an online survey.

From March 8 to March 27, 2022, feedback on the proposed design for the new park, including visioning for the park, new park features and general amenities, was collected in an online survey. The survey received a total of 1,418 responses. Overall, a majority of respondents were satisfied with the proposed design.
The survey summary report will be shared here when available.
On March 8, 2022, City staff hosted a virtual community meeting to share the new proposed design for the park, which was informed by previous resident and stakeholder feedback. 31 community members attended, as well as the local Councillor.

The developer worked with Evergreen, Recreate Place and Tropic Design to create a series of activities for students in three different grades at Blantyre Public School. The students provided their ideas and vision for the new park, including what features they would like included. Inclusive play features for all and enhancing the natural environment was identified as a priority. The students created drawings, models and videos to share their ideas for the final park design.
CreateTO conducted community consultations for a different proposal with an extensive commercial element for the site. The comments from these consultation events will be used to help inform the design process going forward.
The proposed design for the new park includes the following features:
There will be a new mixed-use condominium development at 411 Victoria Park Ave. which will include residences, new commercial space and a 2.4-hectare public park. The park will be located on Gerrard Street East, east of Victoria Park Avenue. The project is funded by the developer and being coordinated by the City. The design of the new park will evolve during the community engagement process, which will include consultation with stakeholders and the community.
