Moorevale Park

Moorevale Park at 175 Moore Avenue in Toronto's Leaside-Moore Park neighborhood is a well-maintained community park that families in the area rely on year-round. The park offers a playground, open green space, and gentle terrain that makes it suitable for seasonal activities.

The playground has equipment appropriate for toddlers through elementary age, with climbing structures, slides, and swings. The surrounding area is well-treed, providing partial shade during summer months. The park's location in a quiet residential area means traffic noise isn't a concern.

The green space is used for casual play, picnics, and pickup sports games. The park connects to the broader Moore Park ravine trail system, which is one of Toronto's best kept secrets for family walks. The ravine trails descend into lush greenery that feels surprisingly wild for a city park, and they connect to the Beltline Trail, a former railway line converted to a multi-use path.

For families who enjoy nature walks, the combination of playground time at Moorevale and a ravine trail walk makes for a complete outdoor morning. The trails are stroller-friendly on the main paths but get more rugged on side trails. In fall, the ravine colors are spectacular.

Winter brings informal sledding on the park's gentle hills — nothing extreme, but perfect for toddlers and young kids getting their first taste of sliding.

The Bayview-Leaside commercial area on Bayview Avenue is nearby for food and shopping. The park has no washroom facilities or food service. TTC bus routes along Bayview Avenue provide transit access.
