The document discusses Grange Park, a two-hectare green space in downtown Toronto. It provides a brief history of the park, noting it was originally the front lawn of the Grange property built in 1820. In 1911, the land became a public park through an agreement between the city and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Today, the park serves around 5,000 people daily and provides a quiet space for relaxation amid the downtown core.

3. HISTORY…

4. HISTORY…
Grange Park is a two-hectare green
space in downtown Toronto. The park
was originally part of The Grange
property built in 1820 by the Boulton
family, who played an influential role in
developing the young city of Toronto. The
area now known as Grange Park served
as the Boulton family’s front lawn. With a
pathway from John Street and an
elliptical path for carriages leading to the
front door of The Grange.

5. …HISTORY
View of the Elms From the Grange, 1910.
In 1910, Harriette Boulton Smith bequeathed
The Grange estate to the newly founded Art
Museum of Toronto, for the purposes of building
an art museum. In 1911, the Gallery entered
into an Agreement with the City of Toronto to
operate the land south of The Grange as a
public park. This agreement still stands
between the AGO and the City, and Grange Park
has become a well-loved and well-used
neighbourhood park.

6. ACTUALLY…
Grange Park currently serves a daytime population of
approximately 5,000 people, including – neighborhood
residents, local office workers, college students, families
and seniors.
The large trees provide a cool and quiet spot to read,
snack and snooze during hot summer days.

The park is versatile for its small size, providing a pastoral setting for individuals to relax, as well as a
place for outdoor activities for daycare groups, children’s camps and afterschool groups. It is a favorite
destination for dog walkers, tai chi practitioners, cyclists and parents/grandparents with young
children who spend hours in the wading pool during the summer and at the playground year round.
It’s a pleasant shortcut between Dundas and Queen Streets for pedestrians and cyclists.
The large lawn in the middle of the park attracts spontaneous bouts of soccer, Frisbee playing and
catch and depending on the year, an outdoor ice rink.

7. WHERE IS A CONGESTED PLACE AROUND THE PARK?
Dundas street west is a congested place because it's a big street
and there is a museum and street car.
Other streets around the park are very quiet.
But if the park open next year, many people will come. So I think those
streets will be more congested.
The flow of people and vehicle traffic will increase. I think
it's so-so. Because there are many houses around the
park. So some people may feel noisy.

8. ACCESS TO BUSINESS AND STORES
The neighborhood is in downtown area,
so you can go to the office easily, and you
can go on foot to Union station where
there are lots of office.
Good access to markets,
cafes, restaurants and shopping mall.
About access, it's very
convenient, so it doesn't have
to change!

9. HOW CONVENIENT
The new park contains larger playground for kids, new
sitting, washrooms and other new things. So, children can play
there. Students can take a rest or read books. Many people can
spend time there.
I think this change is great for
convenience.

10. STREET SCAPE
Diversity!
-tourists place such a AGO
-ethnic town such a China town
-beautiful park
-high bildings
-apartments
-food court
-some chain restaurants
Diverse neighbourhood is really interesting.
But sometimes they make their scape less beautiful.
So apartments or other buildings should be considered about their design and
looks.

11. TRANSPORTATION IN GRANGE PARK
➤ Motorists are already downtown, but can link up with
the major highways leading out of the city, via either
Lake Shore Boulevard or the Gardiner Expressway.
➤ The Queen and Dundas
streetcars connect with
subway stations on the
Yonge-University-Spadina
subway line, while the
Spadina streetcar links
passengers to the Bloor-
Danforth subway.

The renewal grange park would influence the neighbourhood in the good ways!
Street scape;
Convenience;
Access to relaxing place;
Natural environment.
But there are some bad points because of the park!
Noise;
Transportation (especially near the
kindergarten);

As a result, we must get
the good influences from
that park!
