Dufferin Grove Park
Dufferin Grove Park on the east side of Dufferin Avenue south of Bloor is the largest green space in the neighbourhood. It has playground facilities, picnic areas and in the winter an ice hockey rink. The Park has become a community space in the 1990s and more recently with the opening of a regular organic market, a community pizza oven, and internet 'wi-fi'. A community support group, the 'Friends of Dufferin Grove Park' organizes most events and activities in the park, unlike most parks in the City, where events are organized by the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Department.
