Josh Matlow has sent his latest newsletter to Ward 22 constituents. Among many topics dealt with Mr. Matlow reveals the names of two new parks on Manor Road. The space previously owned by the Glebe Manor Bowling Club will be named Manor Community Green. It is located at 196 Manor Rd. just east of Mt. Pleasant Rd. The other, not yet finished, is a children’s space at 250 Manor Rd. (at Forman Ave) beside Manor Road United Church. The park will be named Cudmore Creek Park & Mona Piper Playground. An online vote on names offered by the parks department in consultation with the Councillor led to the decisions. There was a groundswell of support for naming the playground after the late crossing guard Mona Piper. Cudmore Creek is a lost waterway which ran from somewhere near Mt. Pleasant and Eglinton Ave. through lands which now include Leaside to the Don River. Details here
