Withrow Park
Withrow Park is a park in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〔(Withrow Park. ) City of Toronto. Retrieved 2007-09-23.〕 Laid out and constructed in the 1910s, at the same time that the surrounding community was built, Withrow Park is among Toronto's large multi-purpose parks. The park is bounded by Carlaw Avenue on the east, Bain Avenue on the south, Logan Avenue on the west and McConnell Avenue on the north.
Withrow Park is named after John Jacob Withrow (1833–1900), a local landowner and builder, who also served as a city alderman and was one of the founders of what would become the Canadian National Exhibition.〔Gould, Allan. Wise, Leonard. ''Toronto Street Names''. (Firefly Books, 2000). (ISBN 1552093867). p. 229.〕
The park gained nationwide notoriety in 2004 when hot dogs laced with carbofuran were left in the park, killing one dog and poisoning 15 others.〔(Who poisoned the dogs of Withrow Park?: Many emotions have been unleashed by the poisoned dogs of Withrow Park. ) Maclean's. February 16, 2004. Retrieved 2007-09-23.〕 While the poisonings were under criminal investigation, the City closed most of Withrow Park by surrounding it with a chain-link fence,〔(Contaminated substances found in Withrow Park ).

In February 2008, the Toronto Maple Leafs ice hockey team held a practice in Withrow Park, to mark the recent refurbishment of the park's ice rink and related facilities.〔Wattie, Chris. ''(Leafs take it outside, in Riverdale )''. National Post. February 11, 2008. Retrieved 2008-02-12.〕
