Regal Heights

Even though you will not find a single large park in Regal Heights, the neighbourhood does not lack for scenic beauty. For the past thirty-four years, local inhabitants have been consistently encouraged by The Regal Heights Residents’ Association, an informal organization that seeks to address issues and concerns that are relevant to the residents of this community, to participate in a variety of yearly activities and meetings to make their neighbourhood a truly unique place within Toronto and within Canada. People of different ages, incomes, and cultural backgrounds have worked together and managed to establish smaller community gardens alongside the local library and on Rosemount at Oakwood Avenue to show their local emphasis on gardening, preserving natural beauty, and community beautification. The natural greenery, many trees, and well-kept gardens divided by hedges make the area the perfect place for walking and recreation.

The interesting individual gardens are a result of the effort of the community as a whole. It is a well-known fact that the soil in the Regal Heights neighbourhood is very fertile. It is largely composed of heavy clay, which present-day residents with green thumbs truly appreciate. Every year, tree-planting campaigns are a big success with local residents.
