Expand Toronto’s parkland

The Issue

Imagine a beautiful new park for St. Clair West 

There’s a severe lack of parkland in the St. Clair West/Oakwood area – the neighbourhood has one of the worst public park deficits in the city. The lack of park space is so serious it has become a safety issue, with kids, dogs, teens and adults all trying to use the same small spaces.

The city has identified Roseneath Park, near Oakwood and St. Clair, as one park that can substantially expand beyond its current size. Neighbourhood residents’ associations and community groups worked with award-winning architecture and urban design firm Brown and Storey Architects to create a plan for a destination park that serves the St. Clair West community and beyond. 

With its location in the centre of the city and close to public transit, it is the ideal spot for a vibrant park that is accessible to the whole city. Brown and Storey’s revitalization proposal includes recreational and health & fitness areas, a waterplay area, shade pergolas, seating, public washrooms, gardens, and opportunities for a dedicated dog off-leash area and children's playground.

Here’s the plan we’re taking to your local city councillors.
