Parks & Culture

 “Greening Our Neighbourhoods” together, we have ensured that all parks and trails in our Ward are safe and accessible. As a member of Toronto City Council, I have secured adequate funding for a selected list of upgrades that are scheduled for construction: 

✔Park Improvements and development projects have been funded and secured through Section 37 development agreements.

✔Through the City’s budgeting process, I have secured and arranged improvements/upgrades to many parks, such as Maple Claire Park, Maple Leaf Park, PelmoPark, Denison Park, North Park, Cruickshank Park, Keelesdale Park, etc.

✔NEW splash pads coming to Maple Leaf Park and Pelmo Park.

✔New playgrounds and fitness equipment.

✔Dog Off-leash Parks - Woolner Park is the first dog off-leash area in Ward 5; additional sites have been identified for future dog off-leash areas, currently, Pelmo Park is in the planning stage.

✔Championed the York Recreation Centre from start to finish.

✔Park improvements throughout our Ward 5 Water bottle filling stations and new benches in parks and parketts.

✔Tree planting all over the ward -helps to improve our tree canopy.

✔Community-led natural ice rink.
