West Deane Park

West Deane Park is an extremely quiet neighbourhood with a good mix of long-time residents and newcomers. The country feel of this neighbourhood is derived from the Mimico Creek Valley, which cuts a wide swath through the centre of the West Deane Park neighbourhood. The Mimico Creek Valley is home to a variety of wildlife including fox, beaver, deer, pheasants, ground hogs, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, red tailed hawks, and blue birds-all of which have been spotted by residents of this neighbourhood. If you love nature and animals, you will love the West Deane Park neighbourhood.
 
 

 
 
West Deane residents enjoy close proximity to the The East Mall Plaza (at Rathburn Rd.), as well as the Loblaw supermarket at The East Mall south of Burnhamthorpe Rd. Cloverdale Mall an indoor shopping centre located at Highway 427 and Dundas has over 90 stores, restaurants and professional and medical offices.
 
 

 
 
West Deane Park is situated in the scenic Mimico Creek Ravine Valley. This park is highlighted by a paved exercise and bicycle trail that winds its way along the course of the Mimico Creek. West Deane Park also includes a children’s playground, two baseball diamonds and a shaded picnic area. The Martingrove Tennis Club is located at the north end of this park. These four tennis courts double as an artificial ice rink in the wintertime.
 
 

 
 
The majority of West Deane Park houses were built in the 1960’s. These ranch-style bungalows, split-level homes, and Georgian Revival centre hall designs are all situated on generous size lots with private driveways and an attached garage. There are also a small number of row-houses and multi-plex homes located on the periphery of this neighbourhood.
The area around Beaverbend Road was developed later than the rest of this neighbourhood and therefore includes some larger and more modern family-style houses built in the 1980’s.
 
 
 

 
Bus services on the East Mall and on Martingrove Road connect passengers to Go Transit stations. The Eglinton Avenue and Rathburn Road buses provide connecting routes to the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line.
Motorists can gain immediate access to Highway 427 South, Highway 27 North, and Highway 401 which provide connecting routes to Toronto’s network of commuter highways.
