MacGregor Park was one of the first “playground parks” in Toronto, established in the 1920’s for the children of the workers in the industries that sprang up along the railway tracks. Up until about ten years ago the park was very busy, but more recently it became a bit of an orphan. Park neighbour Anna Galati worked with Parks and Recreation staff to put better programs in for the summer, and the children started coming back. (and Anna helped us at our park for the last two weeks of August).
Kristen Fahrig will run a fall kids’ art club in MacGregor Park’s solid old field house, making big papier mache masks to prepare for an October festival there. The art club starts Saturday Sept.10, from 2 to 5 p.m. For more information, contact Anna Galati at 416 535-9032.
Endorsement letter from Councillor Adam Giambrone
June 23, 2005
To whom it may concern,
Please find this letter in support of Anna Galati, the primary organizer of the 1st Annual MacGregor Park BBQ on August 6, 2005. This event is an important element in the rejuvenation of the Lansdowne area. We are confident that the coming together of local friends and family will benefit the neighbourhood as a whole.
