What better way to honour Toronto 's unofficial animal mascot, the raccoon, than with its own dedicated park, complete with a giant trash panda head?is an ode to our mischievous four-legged residents and just opened to the public last week at 86 Soudan Avenue, tucked just near Yonge and Eglinton.
"Been calling this park the 'raccoon park' for months while it was in construction... but holy sh**, they actually named it "Raccoon park." Well, here's Toronto’s newest park,""I can't believe they actually named it that when everyone who lives in this area called it raccoon park," a local agreed. Still another said they were"so excited to learn" of the official name.
The City told blogTO back when work on the park kicked off that Raccoon Park is just one of a few spots that"offer playful references to Toronto's love-hate relationship" with the animal, along with a series of new raccoon sculptures at Richmond Street East and Power Street.
