Langford Parkette is one of several small parks and open spaces thinc design improved along a one kilometre stretch of Toronto’s Danforth corridor, between Chester Avenue and Dewhurst Boulevard, north of the Danforth and above the Bloor-Danforth subway line.
At Langford, the existing playground and its surrounding spaces were revitalized with new playground equipment, sand play, adult fitness stations, seating and planting. The design was shaped with a community stakeholder group, the local Councillor and the public.
A coloured line in the walkway, reminiscent of the line on a subway map, is the corridor’s wayfinding idea. Over time it is meant to link the parks, parking lots and other spaces along the route, and it celebrates the subway running directly below the park.
Construction was scheduled for the spring and summer of 2018. The neighbouring park in the same project is Logan Green Field.
