Residents and visitors in Ward 1 have a new place to play. Vaughan has officially opened its newest park - East's Corners Park - located at 230 East's Corners Blvd. The vibrant community space has a variety of fun features, including junior and senior playgrounds with slides, swings, monkey bars, climbing structures and more. Accessible swings, surface coverings, ramps and ground-level play components also contribute to an inclusive environment for all.

Within the 0.8-hectare (1.98-acre) park, designated No Mow Zones have been created. These are naturalized areas that are not mowed so native and pollinator plants can grow. The grounds also include a lit pedestrian pathway, seating areas and a shade structure.

The official opening was celebrated yesterday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua and Members of Council. Guests enjoyed family-friendly entertainment, refreshments and had a chance to explore the new park grounds.

East's Corners Park adds to the growing list of outdoor greenspaces the City has created and enhanced for citizens to enjoy, including Woodgate Pines Park, Chatfield District Park, Agostino Park, North Maple Regional Park and North Thornhill District Park walkway. It also further aligns with Vaughan's commitment to fostering active, safe and diverse communities that are environmentally sustainable and inclusive, as outlined in the 2018-2022 Term of Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan.
