Project update
The park was constructed in 2021.
Overview
Fairwinds Park is located at 5047 Fairwind Drive. Cooksville Creek flows diagonally through the park, separating the land into east and west sections and the park tries to preserves a lot of its natural history.
The park’s goal was to create an all-season community park with outdoor recreational amenities, trails and passive uses including natural areas and stormwater management features.
A new Fire Station (FS120) shares the site, just west of Cooksville Creek on Eglinton Avenue West. The fire station was constructed in 2019.
