October 23rd, 1920. A crisp autumn day. A crowd gathers expectantly at Earlscourt Park. The City of Toronto had just purchased the 32-acre Royce family estate. Today, they officially opened Earlscourt Park. This beloved green space we stand in now has a rich history. It began as a response to the local community’s desire for a park. Earlscourt Park quickly became a cornerstone of the neighbourhood. In 2020, Earlscourt Park celebrated its centennial. A committee, including the Regal Heights Residents’ Association, formed to commemorate this milestone. They even created a commemorative booklet. This booklet contains personal anecdotes and memories of the park over the years. Perhaps stories of picnics, skating in the winter, or cheering on local soccer teams. These stories weave together the vibrant tapestry of Earlscourt Park’s history. They remind us of its enduring importance to the community.
