Living in Dufferin Grove

The centre of life in the neighbourhood is the ever-popular Dufferin Grove Park, known to local residents as “the big backyard”. It has played a pivotal role in revitalizing the surrounding neighbourhood and creating a strong sense of community thanks to the Friends of Dufferin Grove Park—the organization that plans most park events and activities. 

The park includes a community pizza oven, a music circle, a weekly organic market, a campfire, a community flower and vegetable garden, live theatre, a summer music festival, arts and crafts classes, and a naturalization project. It also has traditional recreational facilities, including tennis courts, a basketball court, a wading pool, an artificial ice rink, and a playing field.

For more recreation options, residents can access the west end YMCA on College Street which features a gymnasium, a swimming pool, and community programs. On the neighbourhood’s northern border is The Bloor/Gladstone Public Library which also offers community-based programs.

Few city neighbourhoods can claim as much choice when it comes to the retail experience that surrounds the Dufferin Grove. This neighbourhood has recently seen an influx of specialty food shops and several small-but-popular boutique restaurants. While there is excellent shopping for everyday household needs, the more serious shopper is likely to head to the nearby Dufferin Mall which is home to several national department store chains, over 100 retail outlets, as well as medical and dental offices.
