Kensington Market (Pass by)

Kensington is a vibrant, historic multicultural neighbourhood and marketplace featuring over 240 unique shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. There’s also a large population of writers, artists and musicians living alongside a diverse immigrant community.

Chinatown (Pass by)

On most days, the flavour of Chinatown literally spills right out onto the pavement. You'll pass an array of produce markets and grocers featuring mounds of exotic looking herbs, fruits, vegetables and dried seafood. Vendors line the pavement, some of them selling wares right out of grocery carts and pop-up tables.

Grange Park (Pass by)

Grange Park is a prominent and well-used public park in city centre Toronto. The Park lends its name to the Grange Park neighbourhood in the vicinity of the park. Historically, the park was the backyard of The Grange, a manor that eventually was expanded and became the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Ontario College of Art and Design (Pass by)

The Ontario College of Art and Design University is a public university located in Toronto. The school is Canada's largest and oldest educational institution for art and design. OCAD University offers courses through the Faculties of Art, Design, Liberal Arts and Sciences, and alternative programmes.

The congregation of the historic Kiever Synagogue originally resided in the Ward. They purchased the property in 1914 from the Denison family estate and built a new synagogue.

Denison Square (Pass by)

Kensington occupies a tract of land that was originally owned by the Denison family. George Taylor Denison used the land now occupied by the park as a parade ground for his volunteer cavalry troop, which he commanded during the Rebellion of 1837.
