Moss Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moss Park is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as defined by the city. The difference between the city and the people is that the people would also include The Distillery District and Corktown within the confines as defined by the city itself.

The neighbourhood is bounded by Jarvis Street to the West, Carlton Street to the North, and Front St. & Eastern Avenue to the South. Parliament Street borders the eastern portion of Moss Park beginning at Carlton and going south to Queen Street where the neighbourhood continues east all the way to the Don River.

The neighbourhood is almost exclusively rented out, and houses many low-income families. The future of this neighbourhood has been determined by the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation which plans to refurbish the city's waterfront. The organization, which is sponsored by all three levels of government, has put the first shovels in the ground and has started the first 80 hectares of development in the South East corner of Moss Park, known as the West Donlands.
