Broadacres Park

Nice park. Largest park in the Etobicoke West Mall area. Large grassy area, but lacks trails or amenities.

Park is good but Need a washroom facility in summer.

Hey family,Here’s an honest review of my visit to Broadacres Park located at The West Mall & Burnhamthorpe Road. I made the visit on Jan 6, 2022 and I wanted to share my experience with you below:Location/ Park amenities: 1 starA 5.7 hectare park near Burnhamthorpe Road and The West Mall featuring a ball diamond, a children's playground and a large open green space. Should you visit here with a little one there is plenty for them to do. One amenity that could potentially go here is a nice splash pad considering there is a pool down the street. Aside from that, this park offers a lot. Note* There are NO washrooms on site.Staffing: 1 starI’ve noticed the city does stay on top of the maintenance of this property. It is a shared space with the Shaver site which I believe is a heritage site. Garbage and curb appeal are maintained so this gets a 1 out of 1 for me.Equipment: Half a starAll of the Broadacres park equipment is clean, maintained and safe to use. There are different elements that make it fun for children including a jungle gym and swing set. It all looks new-ish so no complaints here compared to some of the older parks in the city.Service: 1 starThis park has a level C service for the baseball diamond. It’s as follows:Not irrigated, Home Plate, Groomed 1 time per week, Cut 1 time per week, Aerified 1 time annually, Fertilized 1 time annually, Overseeded 1 time annually, Topdressed 1 time annuallyWow factor: Half a starThe wow factor for Broadacres is the dedicated size and green space. It seems a bit unusual to have a park this big in the heart of Etobicoke but the city can definitely utilize this green space in a better way to serve a lot of the condos and apartments AND homes nearby. We always like going for a walk past here.I always enjoy rating parks and public space as they are used by many people and serve the community in many different ways. I hope this review helps make your park visiting decision easierIn total I give it a 4 out of 5.Until next time…

Very big and open, has a historical house in one side and a public school on other. They will be adding a basketball court by 2019. Only one Pokemon Gym in Park and few pokestops.

Biiiig park, small forest @ West Mall end, playgrounds, beautiful neighborhood, historical building, been strolling through here for years, child-friendly.

Decent neighbourhood park, close to Timmies. Renovated play ground for kids. Doubles up as a teen hangout at night.

Its a fair size area that connects the Shaver Applewood heritage homstead where they facilitate weddings, meetings & other event rental space, a TDSB Jr. PS and playground for the residential community. A basketball court is planned for a part of the area.

Serene and calming

Nice place where kids are playing baseball during the week-end, it is a very quiet place with parking to park the car, residential aeraplayground for kids

It is, in fact, a broad park. I don’t know how many acres it is, and besides… I thought we were metric now. Anyway, great place.
