How Sports Built Warren Park

Ruth Chantler, who has lived in Warren Park for 65 years, was treasurer of the Warren Park Sports Association in the 1960s and ’70s. She describes the ambitious program organized by volunteers for the kids of young families moving into this unique Toronto community, south of Dundas St. W. and east of the Humber River. Known as “The Valley,” Warren Park was developed for housing starting in the 1950s.
