Wanless Park

Wanless Park

Wanless Park is a neighbourhood in North Toronto. It is located just North of Lawrence Avenue, between Bayview Avenue and Yonge Street.

Central to the Wanless Park neighbourhood is a park called Wanless Park. Wanless Park is a small neighbourhood park (approximately 5 acres) with numerous tennis courts, a basketball court, playground, a wading pool with a lifeguard, baseball diamond and grass fields. In the winter a skating rink is installed (with lights for night time skating). During the summer, camps and Ultimate tournaments occupy much of the grassy field area.

In the centre of the park, there is a "Club House" which houses the Tennis Club, the Summer Camp office and washrooms.

In April, an annual "Clean Up the Park Day" is organised. The people of Wanless Park (along with their dogs) help clean up garbage and dog excrement. Coffee, tea and juice are available for the volunteers.

On the May 24 long weekend (Victoria Day), the people of Wanless Park organise a spectacular firework show.

Many of the trees planted in Wanless Park have been donated by the nearby residents, often in memory of loved ones. Any donated trees have a plaque in front of the tree.
