Grange Park

Grange Park is a prominent and well-used public park in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located south of the Art Gallery of Ontario, beside the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCADU), and north of University Settlement House, at the north end of John Street. The Park lends its name to the Grange Park neighbourhood in the vicinity of the park. Historically, the park was the backyard of The Grange, a manor that eventually was expanded and became the Art Gallery of Ontario.FeaturesAfter a major renovation completed by July 2017, the park includes the following features: Henry Moore sculpture Large Two Forms, originally located next to the Art Gallery of Ontario at the corner of Dundas and McCaul streets. Weston family fountain. Splash pad and surrounding seating. Playground facilities geared to age with smaller, softer structures for younger children and taller structures for older children. Fourteen inscribed granite paving stones on the path leading north from John and Stephanie Streets each inscribed with a quotation from a prominent person. A carriage path leading from John Street and circling the park. An off-leash area for dogs. Public washrooms. There are a few prominently visible buildings along the borders of the park that act as a backdrop. These include: Art Gallery of Ontario - on the north side of the park The Grange - on the north side of the park Sharp Centre for Design, OCAD University - on the east side of the park Ruins of St George the Martyr Church - at the John Street entrance to the park
