New Park on Brimorton Drive

A new 2,024 m2 park is coming to the Scarborough-Guildwood neighbourhood as a result of a residential development project on Brimorton Drive. The park will be located at the southeast corner of Brimorton Drive and Meadowglen Place and will provide various new amenities. Construction for the new park will happen in two phases.

The City has received a proposal from the public to name the new park Abe and Freda Blankenstein Park. Naming proposals are evaluated by City staff against the City’s Property Naming Policy and Guiding Principles for Commemoration. If the proposal meets all criteria, staff will prepare a Staff Report to Scarborough Community Council seeking approval of the proposed commemorative name.
