McCormick Park is a municipal park and recreational area at 66 Sheridan Avenue in the Brockton Village neighbourhood enclave of Little Portugal in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1911 as the McCormick Playground[1] on the property of the former Grand National Rink[2] and changed later to its current name in 1963,[3] McCormick Park is located in the vicinity of Dufferin Street and Dundas Street.[4] It is bounded by Brock Avenue on the west, by Sheridan Avenue on the east, by Frankish Avenue on the north and by Middleton Street on the south.[5]
The park covers an area of 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) that features a baseball diamond, basketball courts, a wading pool and a children's playground.[4] It is named after Mary Virginia McCormick,[6] a Toronto resident[6] who was the eldest daughter of American inventor Cyrus Hall McCormick.[7][8] The Mary McCormick Recreation Centre at 66 Sheridan Avenue[9] and the McCormick Playground Arena at 179 Brock Avenue[2][10] are located at the north end of the park.
