The Origins and Development of Teddington Park
The formation of Toronto’s Teddington Park neighbourhood as seen today, starts back in the early 1900’s. Teddington Park is located around the northern boundary of the City of Toronto. In 1912, two businessmen (Nicholas Garland and Robert Dack) registered plans for subdivision of the area.
The development of Teddington Park was strongly influenced by the nearby Rosedale Golf Club, and it’s now developed into a high-end residential district.
Today, Teddington Park is still a high-end residential district, and it’s also one of Toronto’s smallest and most exclusive districts! Teddington Park is surrounded by natural parks and green spaces, including the great Rosedale Golf Club (as mentioned earlier), as well as the Riverview Drive Ravine. Together they allow peace and quite throughout the entire Teddington Park neighbourhood.
