June Rowlands Park is the recreational hub of the area with six tennis courts, a baseball diamond, children’s playground, and wading pool. Beautiful Mount Pleasant Cemetery abuts this area and offers residents a sprawling park for bike riding, bird watching, or simply strolling and enjoying the many art pieces donated by local gifted artists.
Location
The densely populated Davisville, Toronto area is officially divided into two neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant West and Mount Pleasant East. Mount Pleasant West is located to the west of Mount Pleasant Road, north of Merton, east of Yonge Street, and south of Keewatin Avenue. Mount Pleasant East is bordered by Bayview Avenue to the east, Moore Avenue to the south, Yonge Street to the West, and Blythwood Road to the north.
Most of Davisville real estate’s moderate-sized houses were built between the 1920s and 1940s and are mainly comprised of two- or three-storey English Cottage and Edwardian homes. However, you can still see some of the historic dwellings that were built in the 1800s, and also some modern condominium complexes on Mount Pleasant, Bayview, Broadway, Yonge, and Eglinton.

Parks
June Rowlands Park
WebsiteJune Rowlands Park, previously known as Davisville Park, lies to the west of Mount Pleasant Road. The local favourite of the neighbourhood’s parks was named after a former mayor of the city who was famous for her tireless fight for affordable housing and preserving green spaces and historical parts of the City of Toronto. She spent most of her time trying to put Toronto on the list of the world’s greatest cities.
Moore Park Ravine
WebsiteThis little Toronto secret is an eight-kilometre trail passing through the scenic Rosedale Ravine, the Mount Pleasant cemetery, the Lower Don Trail, and the tranquil Don Valley Brickworks Park. It follows Mud Creek, a small tributary of the Don River. Not many people know about this place, but its thickly-wooded slopes and wetlands with numerous species of birds and other wildlife are definitely worth a visit.
Sunnybrook Park
WebsiteSunnybrook Park is a popular place among those who want to relax or enjoy the beauty of nature within Toronto. In the summer, it is possible to host a barbecue or to do some horseback riding at the park’s stables. During the winter, you can see kids swooshing down the hillside on toboggans just as you enter the park.
