Toronto Neighborhood – Trinity Bellwoods

The neighbourhood takes its name from Trinity Bellwoods Park, built around the former Garrison Creek ravine. Bounded on the north by Dundas Street West and on the south by the Queen Street West district, the park is immediately accessible from major pedestrian and bicycling thoroughfares. The park also sports a range of environments, including tennis courts, a playground, a hockey rink, a dog walking bowl, a grove, a range of picnic tables, a greenhouse, a community center, and a swimming pool.

The face of Trinity-Bellwoods has been changing lately, moving away from a mainly family-oriented neighbourhood to one with more youth. As such, the face of the businesses has changed too, toward more independently owned boutique businesses, whether that means fashion, decor, art, coffee, bars or restaurants.Trinity-Bellwoods is becoming trendier with time, and as more young professionals who work flexible hours and do the “working remotely” thing move in, the trendy cafes and bars are seeing more business during the day, all while the pace of life decreases but the influx of dollars increases. In September an annual art sale takes place there, and a weekly farmers market runs on Tuesday afternoons from May to October.

With culinary gems, green space, arts scene, retail, even a microbrewery, this area has a lot to offer – all within what Walk Score calls Toronto’s 9th most walkable neighbourhood.
