About The Ireland Park

Toronto's Ireland park was opened on June 21st, 2007. It was created to commemorate the thousands of Irish (Almost 40,000) who settled in Toronto after leaving Ireland during the great potato famine in 1847 and to recognize the hardships and suffering that they went through. 

The park features sculptures which helps to tell the stories of the what many of  the new arrivals had to endure. Some of the sculptures include; The Jubilant  Man, The Pregnant Woman, The Woman on the Ground, The Orphan Boy and  the Apprehensive Man.

A limestone wall in the park lists over 600 of the estimated 1100 Irish immigrants who did not survive the journey to Toronto.

For those looking to donate to the park your contribution of $100 will buy a glass brick which will be used to build an illuminated glass tower. Visit their website for more details on the park and for information on donating.
