346 Lansdowne Avenue, Toronto
MacGregor Park
This summer everyday Monday-Sunday, staff is dedicated to having toys, books, crafts, games and dress-up available to kids during the day. We have a snack bar this year, with coffee, cookies, and juice, on the weekend we will be bringing out the BBQ, for hot-dogs and corn on the cob.
All food items are reasonably priced, 10 cents will get you a cookie. All money raised from the snack bar goes directly back into the park. The new nets, basketballs, toys, soccer balls etc. have been purchased ahead with the hopes of breaking even by the end of the summer to cover our investment for the equipment purchased for our park.
