Moss Park

[2] The Allan family's former mansion was later demolished during the 1960s 'urban renewal' redevelopment of the area into a housing project, with a large park and community centre on the site of the old estate.

The neighbourhood immediately around the housing complex is the area typically meant when referring to Moss Park today.

The northeast corner of Jarvis and Queen streets is occupied by Moss Park Armoury, which is used by several regiments of the Canadian Forces Primary Reserve.

The Canadian TV series Murdoch Mysteries, Season 15-episode 18, “Patriot Games” (set in the year 1909) includes a fictional Korean family with the surname Park.

In the final moments of the episode the series pays homage to Moss Park, as the characters are brainstorming the creation of a Korean neighborhood in Toronto’s future.
