Join us at the End End Toronto Green Infrastructure Walking Tour as we explore several types of green infrastructure typologies and their functions in Toronto! This tour will stop at Corktown Common, Baseball Place - Riverside Common Park, and Morse Street Junior Public School. Corktown Common was designed to protect the integrity of the flood protection landform which is integral to providing flood mitigation measures in the event of a serious storm in the Don watershed - featuring more than 700 trees and thousands of shrubs, ground covers, and aquatic plants. Baseball Place is the site of the first baseball park ever constructed in Toronto in 1866, and now is home to an impressive installation of permeable pavers in the heart of the East End. Morse Street Junior Public School is a prime example of how school ground revitalization is playing a pivotal role in helping the Toronto District School Board reduce its carbon footprint and adapt to climate change. Comprised of a dynamic mix of natural and manufactured materials, this revitalized public space showcases a variety of exciting landscape and stormwater management features.
