Loring-Wyle Parkette, Small park in Moore Park, Toronto, Canada.

Loring-Wyle Parkette occupies the northeast corner of Mount Pleasant Road and St. Clair Avenue East, featuring busts and sculptures amid green spaces.

The land transformed from a Toronto Transit Commission streetcar loop in 1976 to a public parkette in 1984 following requests from Moore Park residents.

The park displays sculptures by Frances Loring and Florence Wyle, including Young Girl from 1938 and Harvester from 1940, commemorating their artistic legacy.

The park sits one block north of their former studio at 110 Glenrose Avenue, providing benches and lawns for visitors to rest and observe the artwork.

Each sculptor created a bust of the other, reflecting their lasting partnership as artists who lived and worked together until their deaths in 1968.
