Welcome To Playter Estates-Danforth
Playter Estates-Danforth is a Ward 9 neighbourhood in east Toronto. It’s bounded by Jackman Avenue to the east, the Don River Valley to the west, Danforth Avenue in the south, and Fulton Avenue in the north. Playter Estates-Danforth is built on the land once owned by Captain George Playter and his family, a United Empire Loyalist who emigrated to the area from Pennsylvania in the 1790’s. In present times there are two streets in the area named after the Playter family.
While there aren’t many amenities in the neighbourhood boundaries, EVERYTHING is within a walking distance. There are many schools and parks, as well as cafes and restaurants. Riverdale Park East offers fantastic recreation facilities including tennis courts, an ice rink, swimming pool, and running track. The Don Valley Ravine boasts a bike trail that runs through the city and connects to the Martin Goodman waterfront trail. For shopping, be sure to walk the streets of Danforth and Broadview for some fashion boutiques, gourmet coffee shops, delicious Mediterranean food, wine-making shops, and more.
