In the triangle of property formed by Wellington, Front, and Scott streets, opposite the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, is Berczy Park, a 3,606 square metre public park. Since 1980, the area has been a public park; earlier, it either stood unoccupied or was used as a parking lot. The City of Toronto has been planning the restoration of the much-utilized and abused park in close collaboration with the neighbourhood over the past few years.
