A Clean Park is a Happy Park!
We’re thrilled that more of you are getting out and enjoying Downsview Park as the weather gets warmer. Here are a few ways you can help keep the park clean for your community and the environment!
- Please hold on to any garbage until you get to one of our bins or better yet, take your garbage with you and dispose of it appropriately at home.
- Do you enjoy picnics? How about having a coffee by the Lake? We encourage these activities in our park, but please be considerate and leave no trace so that others can enjoy it too.
- Our park is filled with wildlife and many dogs and their parents who love visiting Dogsview Park. They would also appreciate if you picked up after yourself as they (animals) may think your garbage is their snack.
Did we just give you three tips that essentially say the same thing? Yes, we did! Thank you for keeping our beautiful park clean.
COVID-19 Update
All visitors are asked to respect the following guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Stay home if you are feeling sick or if you have been in contact with someone who is sick.
- Keep a healthy distance of 2 metres between you and other Park visitors. Keep it as you walk, run or bike.
- Warn other Park users of your presence and step off trails to allow others to pass, keeping minimum recommended distances at all times. Signal your presence with your voice, bell or horn.
- Limit any group activities to those within your direct household (or “bubble” as provincial/municipal guidelines allow).
- Dogs must be on a leash unless they are in the designated off-leash area, and dog owners should be careful to maintain a two-metre distance from other dogs and persons.
In the case of an emergency, please contact park security at (416) 760-0000 / 1-800-387-0000.
