HISTORY…

HISTORY…

Grange Park is a two-hectare green space in downtown Toronto. The park

was originally part of The Grange property built in 1820 by the Boulton

family, who played an influential role in developing the young city of Toronto. The area now known as Grange Park served as the Boulton family’s front lawn. With a

pathway from John Street and an elliptical path for carriages leading to the

front door of The Grange.

…HISTORY

View of the Elms From the Grange, 1910.

In 1910, Harriette Boulton Smith bequeathed The Grange estate to the newly founded Art

Museum of Toronto, for the purposes of building an art museum. In 1911, the Gallery entered into an Agreement with the City of Toronto to

operate the land south of The Grange as a public park. This agreement still stands

between the AGO and the City, and Grange Park has become a well-loved and well-used

neighbourhood park.

ACTUALLY…

Grange Park currently serves a daytime population of

approximately 5,000 people, including – neighborhood

residents, local office workers, college students, families

and seniors.

The large trees provide a cool and quiet spot to read,

snack and snooze during hot summer days.Grange Park, 2015

The park is versatile for its small size, providing a pastoral setting for individuals to relax, as well as a

place for outdoor activities for daycare groups, children’s camps and afterschool groups. It is a favorite

destination for dog walkers, tai chi practitioners, cyclists and parents/grandparents with young

children who spend hours in the wading pool during the summer and at the playground year round.

It’s a pleasant shortcut between Dundas and Queen Streets for pedestrians and cyclists.

The large lawn in the middle of the park attracts spontaneous bouts of soccer, Frisbee playing and

catch and depending on the year, an outdoor ice rink.

WHERE IS A CONGESTED PLACE AROUND THE PARK?

Dundas street west is a congested place because it's a big street and there is a museum and street car.

Other streets around the park are very quiet. But if the park open next year, many people will come. So I think those

streets will be more congested.

The flow of people and vehicle traffic will increase. I think it's so-so. Because there are many houses around the

park. So some people may feel noisy.

ACCESS TO BUSINESS AND STORES

The neighborhood is in downtown area, so you can go to the office easily, and you

can go on foot to Union station where there are lots of office.

Good access to markets, cafes, restaurants and shopping mall.

About access, it's very convenient, so it doesn't have

to change!

HOW CONVENIENT

The new park contains larger playground for kids, new sitting, washrooms and other new things. So, children can play there. Students can take a rest or read books. Many people can

spend time there.

I think this change is great for convenience.

STREET SCAPE

Diversity! -tourists place such a AGO

-ethnic town such a China town -beautiful park -high bildings -apartments -food court

-some chain restaurants

Diverse neighbourhood is really interesting. But sometimes they make their scape less beautiful.

So apartments or other buildings should be considered about their design and looks.

TRANSPORTATION IN GRANGE PARK

➤ Motorists are already downtown, but can link up with the major highways leading out of the city, via either Lake Shore Boulevard or the Gardiner Expressway.

➤ The Queen and Dundas streetcars connect with subway stations on the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line, while the Spadina streetcar links passengers to the Bloor-Danforth subway.
