Alexandra Park Review

Alexandra Park is perhaps one of the smallest neighbourhoods in Toronto but it packs a real punch in terms of culture and urban amenities. Situated right next to the downtown core, Alexandra Park can be found between Spadina Avenue to the east, Bathurst Street to the west, Queen Street West to the south, and Dundas Street West to the north. As you can see, it only spans a few blocks. That said, there is still tons to love about this tiny enclave. Attractions within walking distance include Graffiti Alley, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Stackt Market, Scotiabank Theatre Toronto, Kensington Market, and Yonge-Dundas Square. Whether you want to go gallery-hopping, shop ‘til you drop, or hit the town, you can do it in Alexandra Park. There is also plenty of green space to take advantage of, with the neighbourhood’s resident park of the same name being located here. It has an outdoor swimming pool, a baseball diamond, a wading pool, and a skate park. If you’re looking for something busier, Trinity Bellwoods Park, complete with tennis courts, baseball diamonds, volleyball courts, a wading pool, an off-leash dog park, and a children’s playground, is only a short walk away. Transit to Alexandra Park couldn’t be better, with multiple streetcar and bus stops. Plus, the neighbourhood is not far from Osgoode, St. Andrew’s, and Queen’s Park stops on Line 1 of the subway. Homes here range from Victorian-era detached homes and bungalows and semi-detached homes from the early twentieth century to townhouses from the ‘60s and newly built condos. Fun fact: Alexandra Park was named after Queen Alexandra, also known as Alexandra of Denmark, who was the wife of British monarch, King Edward VII, the first future monarch to visit Toronto.
