East’s Corners Park adds to the City’s growing list of
outdoor play spaces
Residents and
visitors in Ward 1 have a new place to play. Vaughan has officially opened its
newest park – East’s Corners Park – located at 230 East’s Corners Blvd. The vibrant
community space has a variety of fun features, including junior and senior
playgrounds with slides, swings, monkey bars, climbing structures and more. Accessible
swings, surface coverings, ramps and ground-level play components also
contribute to an inclusive environment for all.
Within
the 0.8-hectare (1.98-acre) park, designated No Mow Zones have been created.
These are naturalized areas that are not mowed so native and pollinator plants
can grow. The grounds also include a lit pedestrian pathway, seating areas and
a shade structure.
The
official opening was celebrated yesterday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor
Maurizio Bevilacqua and Members of Council. Guests enjoyed family-friendly
entertainment, refreshments and had a chance to explore the new park grounds.
East’s
Corners Park adds to the growing list of outdoor greenspaces the City has
created and enhanced for citizens to enjoy, including Woodgate Pines Park,
Chatfield District Park, Agostino Park, North Maple Regional Park and North
Thornhill District Park walkway. It also further aligns with Vaughan’s
commitment to fostering active, safe and diverse communities that are
environmentally sustainable and inclusive, as outlined in the 2018-2022 Term of
Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan.
