  • Midtown in Focus Parks and Public Realm Plan Part 3 of 3
    Attachment 2 - Part 3 of 3 CHAPTER 8 CITY OF TORONTO 2018 102 A CONNECTED AND VERSATILE NETWORK OF PUBLIC PARKS The parkland analysis and public feedback received have been synthesized with new park spaces previously identified as part of the 2014 Midtown in Focus: Parks, Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan to create a connected and versatile network of public parks for Midtown (Figure 11). The network capitalizes on the area’s existing park assets with an eye to expanding these parks and making better use of these spaces to support local needs. It also identifies a series of proposed public parks of all shapes and sizes throughout the area. In some instances, the identification of proposed parks is opportunistic to complement and further strengthen the Public Realm Moves or to recognize the transformative potential associated with the existing subway trench and Davisville Yard. In other instances, a practical approach has been taken to provide new park spaces capable of accommodating a range of locally-oriented passive and active activities throughout the area that will not only provide new park spaces, but also fill in missing gaps. Taken as a whole, the network of public parks that will be created responds to the challenges and opportunities facing Midtown both now and into the future. It has the potential to add at least 17 hectares of new parkland to Midtown’s existing 26.2 hectares of parkland. 103 Figure 11: Parks and Open Space Network Plan BLYTHWOOD ROAD Sherwood Park BRIAR HILL ROAD SHERWOOD AVE KEEWATIN AVE ROSELAWN AVE
