David Crombie Park Revitalization
About the Project
The David Crombie Park Revitalization project is a comprehensive conceptual design and implementation plan for improvements to the park in response to the current and future needs of the community. The conceptual park design was developed through an extensive community engagement process during Phase 1.
Phase 2 is currently underway. Park improvements will be implemented based on the approved plans. City divisions are working closely together to deliver the park revitalization alongside cycle track improvements on The Esplanade for a seamless integration of the park and public realm.

Background
David Crombie Park is a 1.6 hectare (3.95 acres) linear park in east downtown Toronto that functions as the green spine of the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood. David Crombie Park is situated within an area of cultural and heritage significance. It is located just south of the original footprint of Old Town Toronto.
The park was built in 1977 and is named after David Crombie, who, during his successive three terms as mayor of Toronto (1972 to 1978), had taken a leadership role in the redevelopment of the neighbourhood that surrounds the park.
David Crombie Park is a very well used and loved neighbourhood park. It also provides a popular green corridor promenade for tourists and residents to walk between the downtown core to neighbourhoods east of the park.
