Sorauren Avenue Park, Community park in Roncesvalles, Toronto, Canada
Sorauren Avenue Park is a community park in Toronto featuring two soccer fields, two tennis courts, and a baseball diamond spread across its grounds. The space includes open grass areas for recreation and outdoor activities for visitors of all ages.
The land was originally a farm in the 1800s before becoming an industrial site and later a transit facility. In 1995, the area was converted into a public park for community use.
The Monday farmers market brings neighbors together to shop from local vendors and artisans who sell their goods regularly. This recurring gathering has become a social hub where people connect over fresh food and handmade items.
The park has an off-leash dog area and operates ice rinks during winter months for skating enthusiasts. Nearby streetcar and bus stops make getting there convenient for visitors.
Each November 1st, residents place hundreds of carved pumpkins along the park paths for the annual Pumpkin Parade celebration. This event shows how the community brings creativity and energy to the space every year.
