Liberty Village Park — Attraction in Toronto

Liberty Village used to be an industrial site with a railway access. There was a prison full of convicts right on Liberty Street. So once the “prisoners served their term and are released, their first step would be on Liberty Street.”

The area was somewhat neglected until the condo builders redeveloped it to what it is today. The Toronto Carpet Factory, a historical landmark still exist today. Some of the old buildings in the area were integrated and converted into lofts and condo units. It’s a vibrant community consisting of young professionals and young families.

The TTC runs right through the area, and there is the Exhibition Go Train station right off Hanna Road. Basically one can easily walk to the CNE aka the EX every summer and enjoy the festivities and rides there.

In the centre of it all is the Liberty Market Village. A historical building that was rebuilt into a retail and office building. A self sustaining community with a bank, dentist clinic, hair salon, nails salon, restaurants with great patios, doctors clinic, grocery store, coffee shop, bubble tea shop, veterinary hospital, etc. It’s a place called home to at least 4,000+ residents.

To break the concrete jungle, a park called Liberty Village Park was opened. It’s a nice small place for the dogs (watch out for poo), and a playground for the kids to play.

There is an old house on this park which is currently in progress for restorations. Many years ago, one can actually go in this house unattended and access the second floor and get a bird’s eye view of the immediate area.

It's a cute park, but I wish it felt better maintained. I live in Liberty Village so I understand the issues with a lot of plant life around here (the clay-like soil and the sheer amount of animal urine to name a couple). But whenever it rains, and I'm talking even a light sprinkle, the park becomes a mud pit. And it takes days for it to dry up. I know there have been a few petitions to get it fixed, so hopefully something will be done about it. In the meantime, I'll continue to go when it's dry so I can play my favourite park game -...

The park itself is very clean and popular with the people living in the area. I went to visit someone in a condo and I will say the condo sizes are very nice and looks updated. The condo I did stay in was perfect as the windows were huge and it gave you a amazing view of the water and The EX. This would be a very nice place to live; for Toronto it isn't very busy which I loved, your still in the city but the area was not as busy as some of the...
