EARTH DAY 2022

Clean Toronto Together Park Clean-Up

Friends of McCormick Park let’s come together to pick up litter in our Annual Spring Clean-Up of McCormick Park! Let’s meet on Sunday April 24th at 2pm in our park near the wading pool to go over safety rules for children. Bags will be provided. Wearing gloves is a good idea! If this time doesn’t work for you, feel free to gather at another time and we will expand our cleaning range even further. We have made such an impact in the past, let’s do it again!

2015 Skating Rink. We’re hard at work on the skating rink. Volunteers have been making ice every day. We’ll make an announcement when it’s ready, but please stay off the ice until then so that we can have a smoother skating surface.

Thank you everyone for making the McCormick Park Festival a huge success. More than 500 people showed up to celebrate! Check out some pics here, and here.

Our Little Free Library is now open at the corner of Middleton Street and Brock Avenue. Come check it out.
