This place better come with a solid weight room.

Don't you work downtown and live in Holyday's ward?

Why would you be stopping here for a workout? LOL
 
New renders and site plans just dropped! There's a public meeting coming up for this on July 5 at 6:30 and an online survey to fill out: https://www.toronto.ca/city-governm...new-parks-facilities/wabash-community-centre/

Lots more images on the project page, including a bunch of interior renders. Pulling some highlights out into the thread.

Looks lovely. I believe funding was allocated for construction start in 2024 (correct me if I'm wrong). Now if only we could get the pedestrian/cycling bridge over the tracks to connect with the Railpath extension...
 
Something I hadn't considered until now - with this "flagship" type of community centre being built in Brockton, I hope that doesn't render Mary McCormick CC a few blocks to the east redundant...
 
I was looking at some of the different maps/illustrations of where related projects are going in and around the new community centre, and I thought I'd try overlaying some of them to get a better sense of it all.

So I started with these

And overlayed them as best I could:

Here's a tighter crop of just the park, to make it easier to see what's moving what else around:

It actually all displaced a lot less usable parkland than I'd thought.
