Downsview Park Toronto

Downsview Park is a former Canadian Forces Base in Downsview. The Downsview Lands consist of 260.6 hectares of land in the northwest portion of the City of Toronto and the geographic centre of the Greater Toronto Area. These lands were previously used as the air force base CFB Downsview until 1994 when the federal government announced the closure of the base. It was also announced that the lands were to be held in perpetuity and in trust as a unique urban recreational green space for the enjoyment of future generations. The mandate to create the urban recreational green space was given to Parc Downsview Park Inc. Downsview Park consists of 231.5 hectares to which PDP has title. Of this total, more than 130 hectares are earmarked for traditional parkland, recreational and cultural amenities.
