Yonge Street Linear Park Improvements
In 2017, the City completed the Yonge Street Linear Park System Master Plan, which included a comprehensive conceptual plan for three parks in the linear system – James Canning Garden, George Hislop Park, Norman Jewison Park.
All three parks are built over the Yonge Street subway system and together form an important “green spine” and a north-south pedestrian commuter route in the Church Wellesley neighbourhood, just east of Yonge Street.
Alexander Street Parkette was not included in the Master Plan but it is located in the same corridor just east of Yonge Street and has been added to this project to achieve a comprehensive approach to the neighbourhood parks.
Phases
Construction of George Hislop Park and Norman Jewison Park starts
Norman Jewison Park currently has a dog fountain along with an adult drinking fountain. George Hislop park currently has a Drinking Fountain.
Construction for the park improvements at George Hislop Park and Norman Jewison Park starts on May 30. The parks will be closed to the public during construction. The work will include new paths, seating, lighting, planting, trees and special features including integrated 2SLGBTQ+ (Two-spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and plus sign representing other sexual or gender diverse members) and Indigenous art.
Alexander Street Parkette will be anticipated scheduled to award the construction contract in late 2023 or early 2024.
