Leslieville Station
The Ontario Line will make it faster and easier for people to visit the vibrant communities of Leslieville, Riverside and Riverdale and will conveniently link to popular streetcar routes.
A night out on the Danforth, a soccer game at Exhibition Place or a trip to explore the Don Valley will be made easy for the 9,500 residents who are expected to live within a 10-minute walk of Leslieville Station by 2041.
The station will also make it easier for people to access spaces like McCleary Playground, Bruce Mackey Park, and Jimmie Simpson Park and its recreation centre. After construction is complete, more green space will be added to parks along the rail corridor.
