Maple Leaf Forever Park, Urban park in Leslieville, Toronto, Canada

Maple Leaf Forever Park is an urban park in Leslieville with walking paths, benches, and open green spaces surrounded by maple trees and a historic cottage from 1871. The park combines natural grounds with this restored residential building, structuring the space as a blend of garden and architecture.

Maple Leaf Forever Park was created in 1933 by public subscription to honour Alexander Muir, composer of "The Maple Leaf Forever" (1867). Maple Cottage, long presented as his former home, was built around 1871, after the song. A 1958 plaque by the Grand Orange Lodge replaced an earlier one from 1930.

The park's name comes from "The Maple Leaf Forever", composed by Alexander Muir in October 1867. A plaque erected in 1958 by the Grand Orange Lodge in the front yard of Maple Cottage commemorates Muir and the song, replacing an earlier plaque from 1930. Maple Cottage has served as a community centre since 2002.

The park sits south of Queen Street East between Leslie Street and Greenwood Avenue, making it easy to reach from the surrounding neighborhood. Visitors can walk through on multiple paths and find plenty of spots to rest or sit throughout the grounds.

The young silver maple in the park's centre descends from the dying 150-year-old tree: a couple from The Beaches took more than a dozen keys from it, and only one seedling survived in their backyard. It was transplanted here in 2007. The old tree itself was felled by a storm on 19 July 2013, leaving only its lower trunk at the northeast corner of Maple Cottage's front yard.
