David Crombie Park

David Crombie Park is a 1.6 hectare green space in downtown Toronto with walking paths, picnic areas, and landscaped gardens throughout. It connects to nearby neighborhoods and provides outdoor fitness equipment for visitors to use.

The park bears the name of David Crombie, a former Toronto mayor who served three consecutive terms and led the redevelopment of the surrounding area. His leadership shaped how this central part of the city was revitalized and planned.

The park serves as a gathering place in the St. Lawrence neighborhood where residents and visitors spend time together during local events and celebrations. It reflects how the community uses public space to build connections and share daily moments.

The park is located at 131 The Esplanade and has multiple entry points that make it easy to access from different directions. Open green space allows visitors to move around freely without needing to plan ahead.

The park is part of an urban development model that mixes homes, shops, and public spaces together in one area. This approach became an influential example for how cities across North America could plan mixed-use neighborhoods.
