A new 5.4-acre park is coming to 320 Markham Rd., just north of Eglinton Avenue East in the Scarborough-Guildwood neighbourhood. The park’s design will be determined with the help of community feedback and the Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan, which aims to identify and address gaps in park amenities and ensure equitable distribution of recreational facilities throughout the city.
The proposed name, Grant Faulkner Park, honours the memory of Grant Faulkner, who tragically died in 2015 while experiencing homelessness. The park name not only commemorates his life but also serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals and addressing homelessness in the community.
The timeline is subject to change and is pending the transfer of land from one City division to another.
