Origin
Summary
In June 2012, City Council authorized an exchange of lands to create a park at 111 Anthony Road and capital improvements to the property were completed in 2015. The park has been informally called "Anthony Road Park" and "Anthony Road School Park" during this time, however a name for the park has not been established.
Property naming and renaming are a matter for which a Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
The Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division initiated a naming process outlined in the Council-approved City of Toronto Property Naming Policy in consultation with the local Councillor, including the creation of a list of potential names and community consultation on the options.
Based on the outcome of this process, Parks, Forestry and Recreation is recommending that the park located at 111 Anthony Road be named to "de Havilland "Mossie" Park".
