Park Property Snow and Ice Clearing

The City of Toronto provides winter maintenance at more than 250 parks across Toronto to offer opportunities for longer walks during the winter months and to provide connections between schools and transit stops.

Maintenance may vary depending on local and environmental conditions. The City cannot maintain all pathways in all parks during the winter due to factors such as pathway/trail surface material and whether the pathway is located within Environmentally Significant Areas.

Winter maintenance of park pathways, trails and roads is provided at more than 250 parks across Toronto.

• Pathways are cleared of snow within 24 hours if there is more than 8cm of snowfall
• Paved recreational trails are cleared of snow after 48 hours
• Salting occurs within 24 to 48 hours of snow clearing

Note: Internal pathways with "No Winter Maintenance" signs are not cleared of snow.
