Neighbourhood
Originally established in the 1800s, Corktown is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Toronto, deriving its namesake from the Cork County Irish immigrants who settled in the area. Centuries later, Corktown still retains its charms with tree-lined streets, pretty parkettes, and eclectic homes. But it has also embraced the slew of artisanal stores, gourmet restaurants, and inspired shops that line the commercial strip on Queen Street East. This area has the distinct advantage of encompassing a small-town community feel right in the heart of the city.
At 18 acres, Corktown Common, the centrepiece of the emerging West Don Lands, is the largest park in the neighbourhood. This active, vibrant park offers something for everyone. The playgrounds, splash pad, athletic field and open lawns can be used for informal gatherings or organized activities. The flexible outdoor space, tables, benches, BBQ and fireplace offer welcoming spots for people to meet and socialize.
Corktown residents enjoy the luxury of being located within walking distance of notable landmarks the St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District. Young families love the kid-friendly amenities, including the Sackville playground, the St. Lawrence Community Centre, and the John Innes Community Recreation Centre.
