Toronto’s newest park and tourist attraction is barking for attention and it rightfully deserves it! Designed by Montreal based landscape architect Claude Cormier + Associes, Berczy Park is located just east of Yonge and Front Streets with frontage on Scott, Wellington and Front Street east.
The park opened this past summer and instantly became an Instagram worthy attraction for both tourists and locals. The whimsical design features numerous dog statues spouting water into an ornate cat adorned fountain topped with a golden bone.
Surrounding the fountain are rolling green hills, new landscaped planting areas, trees and ample seating to relax and enjoy the space.
Bookending the Park is the west facade of the Gooderham Building (AKA The Flatiron Building) which features The Flatiron Mural by Canadian artist Derek Michael Besant
Berczy Park is a wonderful new addition to the downtown core and takes its place atop Toronto’s best public spaces while perfectly blending landscape design and public art. Pedestrians and Pooches agree but the jury is out on the cats as they seem predictably aloof!
