Origin

(April 7, 2017) Report from the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to improve operational methods and under the criteria of the Property Naming Policy, is recommending to rename Scarborough Bluffs Park, located at 61 Undercliff Drive as Scarboro Crescent Park. The renaming of this property will reduce public confusion and disappointment when visitors arrive at the park and cannot reach the beach. It will further reduce the major congestion and parking issues that this park faces.

 

Property naming and renaming are matters for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

The Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division has reviewed the Council approved City of Toronto Property Naming Policy and found that this renaming proposal meets the policy criteria.
