Somebody do a quick fact check into whether McCleary was evil!

I THINK the Park and the Playground were named after Rev Ray McCleary:

WoodGreen Community Services was founded in 1937 by Reverend Ray McCleary. When he assumed his post at WoodGreen United Church in Toronto’s Riverdale neighbourhood, 60 per cent of residents were on city relief and had no access to organized recreational activities. With the help of volunteers, Rev. McCleary organized games and crafts for local children, along with child care services. WoodGreen was incorporated that year with a mission to “serve the whole community from the cradle to the sunset hour of life.”

And maybe with a little love and Lira for McCleary Park we could get a fun pavilion?! One of the best features of old lawn bowling spaces are the great, columned buildings next to them.
