October 2022

Interactive Mapping Activity (Social Pinpoint)

From October 4 to October 21, 2022, an online survey using Social Pinpoint was available for community members to share their thoughts on the proposed design and learn about the upcoming changes that will be delivered as part of Phase 1 of the Master Plan implementation.

Download the summary report.

Park Pop-Up Events

On October 2 and 3, an event took place along the pathway that connects the North Toronto Soccer Club Centre and Tommy Flynn Playground. The project team shared information about the implementation of the Master Plan and a design exercise was available to gain insights on the preferred locations and options for the dogs off-leash area and skate spot. The final locations of the dogs off-leash area and skate spot will be determined using the feedback from the pop-up events, consultation with the Community Advisory Group, Indigenous Groups and City staff.

Dogs Off-Leash Area

There are two proposed locations for a dogs off-leash area, which will be approximately 2000m2.

Image illustrates the two proposed locations for the dog off-leash area (OLA). From the bottom left to top right. Location A – in the centre of the park at the bottom of the existing hill, west of the Arena Location B - in the centre of the park and west of the parking lot.

Skate Spot

There are three proposed locations for a skate spot, which will be approximately 600m in size and include one to three skate features.

Indigenous Consultant Hired

The City is partnering with Ridge Road Training and Consulting on the Eglinton Park Master Plan Implementation, to facilitate an Indigenous-centred engagement process.

Those who are invited to participate in this engagement process will be provided an honorarium as compensation for their valuable knowledge, time, and any additional contributions they make towards the process.

The City and Ridge Road will be engaging with groups such as the:

  • Eglinton Park Urban Indigenous Community & Mashkiki Gitigaan stewards
  • Toronto Aboriginal Support Services Council
  • Treaty Holders
  • Members of the City’s broader Indigenous community
