About Wexford
Lawrence Avenue is brimming with small shopping plazas that contain a multi-cultural mix of restaurants and food shops. The shopping along Victoria Park Avenue is similar to Lawrence Avenue although on a much smaller scale. Eglinton Avenue offers a mix of big box stores, family style restaurants, car dealerships, factory outlets, and shopping centres. The Golden Mile shopping mall situated on the north side of Eglinton Avenue east of Victoria Park Avenue was the largest shopping mall in Canada when it opened in 1954. Today this mall is anchored by a large department store and a supermarket, and also includes a handful of smaller retailers and a dental centre. Eglinton Square, located across the street from the Golden Mile mall, is a community oriented mall that runs a regular “Family Night Club for kids,” a “Walk-a-Mall” program, as well as seasonal events and promotions. Eglinton Square is anchored by the Bay department store and a METRO supermarket.
Homes
Wexford contains mostly bungalows and storey-and-a-half houses built in the 1950’s. These homes are situated on good size lots that feature private driveways and a garage. Wexford has a large number of low and high-rise apartment buildings, located on the peripheral streets of this neighbourhood.
Recreation
The largest park in this neighbourhood is Wexford Park, which has a baseball diamond, sports fields, a children’s playground and plenty of recreational greenspace. Wexford Collegiate Institute, located at 1176 Pharmacy Avenue, has a gymnasium and indoor pool which host various Toronto Parks and Recreation programs.
