Community Park Naming Contest
We are inviting you and your neighbours to Ward 13’s Community Park Naming Contest for five different park locations. We want to facilitate this contest through a fun, engaging, and educational experience for all residents in our ward.
Toronto Centre is currently hosting a park naming public consultation. Community engagement is very important to our office, especially when it comes to our residents and future community leaders of Ward 13. We believe the opinions of those who utilize these spaces matter, just as much as the ideas of residents across our ward.
Hence, Councillor Moise, along with our office, is very excited to present this ongoing Park Naming Contest across all neighbourhoods! Everyone is invited to share their ideas and we can’t wait to see what our neighbourhoods come up with!
We request that each person participating provide:
- Their name
- Their Neighbourhood
- What they like most about their neighbourhood
- Name for each park
- A short explanation of why they chose the name for each park
The winning idea submitter will receive a Ceremonial Certificate and the winning school will receive a Ceremonial Plaque from the City of Toronto.
Leave your mark, Name your park!

The new park at 1 Defries St will be about the size of a basketball court and will front Labatt Avenue and Defries Street. A portion of the park will be located on the existing Labatt Avenue right of way, which will be closed to vehicles. The park will be accessible and include fitness equipment and seating areas. A dogs off-leash area will not be included in the design due to the park’s limited size.
The park design has evolved through consultation with nearby schools, area residents and the general public in order to design a space that meets the needs of the growing community.
A public park opened in Corktown last year. Located on Power Street, south of Queen Street East, this park is in need of a name and as part of the Ward 13 constituency, we’d like your help in naming it! If no name suggestions are received, the park will receive a place-based name, such as "Power Street Park".
Acquired by the City through the recent redevelopment of the 46-54 Power Street block (Home on Power Condominiums), this new public park will offer a new landscaped, hard-surfaced park with new benches, planting areas and lighting to contrast against Orphan Green’s off-leash dog park across the street. Tying the park together is a meandering river rock pathway that can be used as a reflexology footpath.
A new public plaza is opening in the Garden District this year. Located on Dalhousie Street, just north of Shuter Street, this plaza is in need of a name.
This lovely 962 m2 of public space was designed by Claude Cormier and Associates in consultation with the City and constructed by Orin Contractors. The park dedication is a result of Citi-Core Group's development agreement with the City for the 88 Queen Street East development. The park has plaza-style design features and a planted mound as a central focus and a public art feature wall that provides a colourful backdrop just outside the park property.
Located on the north side of Richmond Street East, west of Ontario Street. A new public park is being built in the St. Lawrence Neighborhood, prospectively built by 2026.
The park is going to be located between Ontario Street to Princess Street, from East to West. There will also be a pedestrian path from King street East to Adelaide street on the north side.
The vision of the park is inspired by the celebration and commemorative history of Black and diverse communities in the neighborhood. The goal of the park is to emphasize an accessible space that is green, calming, and social, where community members can sit, gather, and mingle.
Located on the north side of Richmond Street between Sherbourne and Ontario Street, A new public park is opening in the St. Lawrence Neighborhood, prospectively by 2026.
We want your help to explore design options for the growth of this park to best serve you and your neighbors! This new public park is a result of the development agreement between the City and Tricon Residential Inc., who are developing two buildings adjacent to the park at Queen Street East, Ontario Street, and Richmond Street East.
The park will be designed and constructed by Tricon Residential Inc. in partnership with the City of Toronto, and will add 1400m/sq of public space, approximately the size of a hockey rink for community gatherings.
