Neighbourhoods
Dufferin Grove Park is one of the city's best and it is just a few blocks away. Currently undergoing some construction for improvements but most is operational. There is an old school play structure and massive sand pit with running water and real shovels. The kids will play for hours! A wading pool, snack hut, basketball, ping pong, pizza oven and picnic areas available in the summer. The Farmer's Market is every Thursday from 3:00-7:00 with local produce and food stalls. A great family outing.
