Market Gardeners and Skating Rink

Lace up your skates and step into a slice of Toronto history at Tom Riley Park, where a beloved community rink sits on land once farmed by English market gardener Robert Tier in the 1870s. The valley's rich muck soil made this spot legendary for celery crops — now it's equally legendary for a good after-work skate. It's the kind of tucked-away west-end gem that rewards those willing to venture a little off the beaten path. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
