Already registering as a landmark before the fences came down in the last few weeks, Berczy Park is officially reopening on Wednesday, June 28. To celebrate, there's a party to mark the completion of work on this remarkably reimagined space between Front and Wellington Streets a block east of Yonge. The City of Toronto, the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA, and the Friends of Berczy Park are throwing a bash from 3 PM to 7 PM, with a raft of entertainment that will be fun for both children and adults. If you don't want to miss the speeches and ribbon cutting, that takes place starting at 5 PM.

Following the ribbon cutting, UrbanToronto is holding a meet-up at the Flatiron and Firkin, 49 Wellington Street East, from 5:30 PM onwards. (The Firkin is just at the east end of the park at the base of the Flatiron building; just ask for the UrbanToronto reservation when you get to the door!) Besides giving you a chance to meet people who share your interest in seeing Toronto grow in smart ways, you'll have a chance to meet Berczy Park designers Claude Cormier and Marc Hallé and other special guests. We hope we will see you there!
