It’s been a winter for the record books, but spring is finally just around the corner.
There’s no better way to take advantage of the warmer weather than getting outside and enjoying Ward 25’s incredible parks — and they’re about to get even better!
In York Mills, Mossgrove Park is scheduled for revitalization, and in St. Andrews, Lord Seaton Park is set for an upgrade.
New playground equipment will be installed in both parks next year and consultations to gather neighbourhood input will be underway this spring.
Further south in Lawrence Park (right behind the Locke Library), a new drainage system was installed late last year, setting the stage for a major playground overhaul that’s already started.
Design work is being finalized based on input from an engaging neighbourhood consultation earlier this year. Construction will soon be underway with completion targeted for the fall.
Over in Don Mills, be on the lookout for a brand new park on The Donway West just south of Lawrence Avenue East. The new park is scheduled to open this spring and will be a welcome addition to one of Canada's first (and best) planned communities.
In the meantime, I encourage you to head over to the Toronto Botanical Garden, which hosts an Organic Farmers’ Market each and every Thursday from 2 to 7 p.m.
