Ramsden Park, Public park in downtown Toronto, Canada
Description
Ramsden Park is a public park in downtown Toronto covering around 13.7 acres between Yonge Street and Avenue Road with multiple recreational facilities. The grounds feature children's playgrounds, basketball courts, and hockey rinks spread across the property.
History
The City of Toronto purchased this land in 1904 after it operated as brick manufacturing yards from the 1840s through the 1890s. The brick produced here was used in construction of major buildings throughout the city.
Culture
A monument at the park entrance displays poetry by Canadian literary artist George Elliot Clark, creating a space where people come to engage with Canadian writing and reflection.
