runnymede park.

Runnymede Park sits beside the Canadian National Railway line in Toronto's west end, with its main entrance on Ryding Avenue. The park has a mature tree canopy, a wading pool, sports courts and a long open lawn.

thinc design led the revitalization of the park's active core for the City of Toronto. Two concepts were taken to the community: a nature park inspired by the existing mature trees, and a rail park inspired by the railway and the historic train yard. The design that moved forward builds on the nature park idea, and was delivered in two phases.

It adds a new entrance at Ryding Avenue, junior and senior play areas, a natural play area with armourstone seating, and a gathering area with shade and tables. The tennis, pickleball and volleyball courts were resurfaced, the wading pool received new paving, seating and accessible paths, and new paths, benches, bottle filler stations and planting tie it all together.
