RECREATIONAL

The Queensway is a shopping lover's delight. This retail district is anchored by the Kipling Queensway Mall which features Don Cherry's Sports Grill. Don Cherry is said to check in regularly at this sports emporium to personally sample the food and chat with the patrons and staff. The Kipling Queensway Mall is also known for its large department store and supermarket. 

Queensway residents can access South Humber Park, north of The Queensway at Stephen Drive. This park features a mix of open spaces and wooded areas that overlook the Humber Marshes. This park also provides a link with the Martin Goodman Trail which spans Toronto's waterfront and is enjoyed by walkers, joggers, cyclists and in-line skaters. Queensway Park, located off Avon Park Drive just north of The Queensway has a field-of-dreams baseball diamond, two tennis courts and a children's playground. Woodford Park is situated next to the Mimico Creek and includes a baseball diamond, a children's playground and two tennis courts.

HOMES & REAL ESTATE

The oldest houses in The Queensway neighbourhood include a handful of former market-garden cottages and pre-subdivision houses located in the north-east pocket of this neighbourhood near the Mimico Creek and Woodford Park. The majority of the houses in The Queensway are two bedroom brick bungalows and storey-and-a-half houses built in the 1940's and 1950's. These houses are situated on good size lots with private driveways and garages. The quaint looking frame houses located around Queensway Park, were originally built as War Veterans housing during the 1940's. These houses have provided the backdrop for television and movie productions as well as commercials. In the area east of Royal York Road and south of The Queensway there is a multitude of multiplex rental properties and a fairly new townhouse development.
