Runnymede Park

    Runnymede Park is located in The Junction, Toronto's neighbourhood stretching on Dundas Street West between Keele and Runnymede Streets. Runnymede Park is for those athletes in you. If you are a sportsy-outdorsy type of individual,  take a stroll in The Junction and visit this park. The park offers pool (open in the summer), tennis courts, a soccer field, a baseball diamond, a bocce court and two children playgrounds.

  

 Fun fact: Runnymede Park was one of the few parks in Toronto that had a railway siding running through it. Until 2008, the rail was operated by Canadian Pacific Railway when the track was put out of service and the rails were removed from the park.
