Hello!
We are the Friends of The Linear Parks (George Hislop Park, Norman Jewison Park, and James Canning Gardens), a placemaking group for a system of linear parks running just south-east of Yonge and Bloor.
Our purpose is threefold:
To reimagine and improve The Linear Parks, so they can be a point of community pride.
To continually activate the parks with activities.
To advise on development proposals within the area to ensure they contribute to the parks in the best way possible.
In September 2020, a long time goal of ours, a project to revitalise the linear parks, was initiated by the City of Toronto, Parks Forestry and Recreation. Construction will start in spring 2023! Keep track of process by visiting the project website!
