Seaton Village
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seaton Village is a primarily residential neighbourhood in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is named after John Colborne, 1st Baron Seaton, Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada from 1828 to 1836.
Seaton Village is bordered by Bloor Street to the south, Dupont Street to the north, Christie Street to the west, and Bathurst Street to the east. It is served by two Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway stations: Bathurst and Christie. Although it is closer to Koreatown, it is sometimes referred to as the "West Annex" by realtors because it is adjacent to The Annex, a popular neighbourhood between Bathurst and Avenue Road which shares Seaton Village's north-south borders. While Seaton Village shares several characteristics with The Annex (notably its architecture and its popularity with University of Toronto students), it is generally quieter and more family-oriented. Seaton Village is the former home of Canadian poet and children's author Dennis Lee, and is the current home of novelist and playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald.
Near the center of Seaton village is Vermont Square Park. The park has a playground including wading pool. St. Albans Boys and Girls club is located in the park.
Seaton Village is in the political riding of Trinity--Spadina.
