Bruce Mackey Park

Bruce Mackey Park is a long park that runs from Dundas all the way to Queen street.
It’s a great park for walking dogs in because of the layout. There aren’t a lot of people just hanging out, the street has low traffic levels, and it’s a long, walkable route.
At the south end of the park there is a mostly fenced area, great for dogs — there is an open entrance at each end though.
There is also an interesting sign about the history of the Degrassi TV show and one of the creators. The park is partially on Degrassi street and many of the scenes for the shows were filmed in the area.

This park is long and narrow. It runs from Dundas to Queen.
I like hat there are strategically placed park benches. The funny thing about this street is the placement of either the posts of the side walk, b/​c sometime the hydro pole is right in the middle.
anyways, that was just a side bar comment. I like to walk my dogs here. It’s nice, and there are some fenced in areas. Plus I like looking at the houses on this street.

bruce mackey park is like your cousin or brother who sits at the family dinner table and doesnt say a word most of the time but hes always present.
bordering wardell street on the east side lies bruce mackey park, though if you catch it from dundas street it looks like it it peters off just beyond the first few houses that represent the street on the west side.
now if you walk a block further west and head south on degrassi street youll be suprised to see that wardell and degrassi meet up and in turn does bruce mackey end up on degrassi. so the park functions like some kind of puzzle piece bordering the fringe of a neighbourhood.
this is further enhanced by the fact that on the east side of the park runs a train track. this is the most exciting thing about the park itself as its not one geared towards the kiddies. there are no swings or playground. it is simply for those of us who value the moments of doing nothing, on a bench, in the midst of nothing and perhaps for awhile, seeing nothing. peace.
one might also be interested in taking their dog for a run in the southern part of the park which meets up with degrassi street.
either way this is a fine park that seems to be for passersby on dundas and locals who live in the hood.
