Islington Village

Islington Village offers a delightful downtown lifestyle alternative, with boutique-style shopping, charming dining spots, local services, ample green space, and parkland. Its convenient access to TTC and Go Transit stations adds to its appeal.

Originally, the neighbourhood featured homes with traditional architectural styles, situated on spacious lots. While some of these houses have been replaced with newer custom builds, the area maintains its picturesque charm with the Mimico Creek and Islington Golf Club winding through its centre.

For golf enthusiasts, the Islington Golf Club offers a Par 72, 6400-yard course masterfully designed by the renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson. This private club prides itself on its welcoming and familyoriented atmosphere.

Tennis enthusiasts can head to Rosethorn Park, located just north of the Islington Golf Club, where they'll find three well-maintained tennis courts and a children's playground.

Since its establishment in 1952, the Islington Baseball League has been operating out of Rosethorn Park. This club offers a range of programs, including Co-ed T-Ball, Boys and Girls Rookie Ball, various clinics, and competitive Rep teams.

Islington Village, also known as "Toronto's Village of Murals," is situated in the heart of Etobicoke. This residential area is renowned for its 25 mural "masterpieces," covering over 15,000 square feet of wall space along five blocks in the historic shopping district on Dundas West. These impressive murals, created by the talented artist John Kuna, beautifully depict the neighbourhood's cohesive history. The project, a labor of love, began over nine years ago and continues to expand.
