Eglinton Park

Eglinton Park, Public park in North Toronto, Canada

Eglinton Park is a public park in North Toronto bounded by Eglinton Avenue West to the south and Roselawn Avenue to the north, with Oriole Parkway and Edith Drive along its west and east sides. It holds two baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a splash pool, a children's playground and outdoor tennis courts that become skating rinks in winter. The North Toronto Community Memorial Centre adds an indoor pool, outdoor pool, water slides, gymnasium, walking track, exercise rooms and an indoor skating rink.

The site was the Davisville and Carlton Brick Company, later the Davisville and Eglinton Brick Manufacturing Co., owned by James Pears, who bought it in 1885. In 1923 the City of Toronto purchased 22.8 acres from Pears for $140,000 and called it the North Toronto Athletic Field, though residents knew it as Pears Park. It was renamed Eglinton Park in 1929 after the 13th Earl of Eglinton of Ayrshire, Scotland, and the City has since bought adjacent land.

The Heritage Community Garden was created inside the park in 1998. The park itself takes its name from the 13th Earl of Eglinton of Ayrshire, Scotland, a renaming made in 1929; before that, residents knew the grounds as Pears Park after brickmaker James Pears.

The park sits between Eglinton Avenue West and Roselawn Avenue and is easy to explore on foot. Visitors should plan to walk between recreational facilities and garden areas, especially on weekends when the grounds are busier with community activities.

The park occupies the former Davisville and Carlton Brick Company site, bought by brickmaker James Pears in 1885; his family ran brickworks in the late 1800s. Toronto paid $140,000 for 22.8 acres in 1923, and residents long called the grounds Pears Park before the 1929 renaming.
