Did you always want to hang out & socialize with your fellow comrades from Climate Justice Toronto but couldn't find an opportunity? Now it's your time to shine!


Join us for a Park Social with CJTO at Grange Park on Saturday, 17th of May from 16:00 / 04:00 pm, even if you're just saying hello you're more than welcome to do just that but we highly encourage you to touch grass with us.


Masks are required, & we'll have masks available.

Two individual unisex washrooms that can accommodate a visitor with a mobility aid (eg wheelchair, scooter); and a family washroom that can accommodate a visitor using a mobility aid and a person to assist. The family washroom has an adjustable adult change table. Rest areas and accessible seating throughout the park, including benches with backs and armrests for support. A number of benches are open at one end to allow visitors to transfer from a mobility aid. Concrete pads provide a stable base for a visitor using a mobility aid to sit beside a bench. A change in textures alerts visitors who are blind or have vision loss that they are approaching a seating area. Picnic tables are designed to accommodate visitors with mobility aids. Play area: 70% of the play area and equipment is accessible to children with disabilities and their care givers. The interactive water feature is on a flat surface designed to accommodate children with mobility aids. Water dispensers are accessible to visitors with mobility aids; water dispensers include a drinking vessel for pets and service animals. All walkways provide obstacle-free routes with non-slip surfaces and tactile/colour signals at the edges, slopes and steps. Handrails are provided on slopes and steps. The plaza/stage area at the north end of the great lawn is accessible to performers with mobility aids. Large Two Forms sculpture by Henry Moore is on a ground-level base, allowing visitors with mobility aids to approach and fully explore it. Plantings include vegetation that stimulates the senses of touch, scent and sight. Fountain grass and lambs ear plants provide different textures to explore; flowers are white, yellow and blue (colours most easily seen by persons with vision loss); lavender provides a wonderful scent. Service animals are welcome.
