Data updated
Toronto Open Data ships 158 named neighbourhoods. Each park’s centroid is point-in-polygon tested against that layer; the table below shows where the city’s parks score best on average. This isn’t a livability ranking. It’s telling you which neighbourhoods have a stock of parks doing high-vitality work according to the model.
