You can start grieving the lost of some Junction cultural history right now as the blog predicts the council accepts the simply wrong name for this park.

History or not, I live in that development, and I don't want to live next to "Stockyards Park". Everything changes, and change isn't a bad thing.
This isn't even on land from the Stock Yards District. The currently generically named "Maple Clair Park" which is on former Canada Packers land adjacent to a slaughterhouse would be the place to evoke the history. We should be glad that the connection to West Toronto isn't being forgotten.
How about the "Radial Railway Park"?
I like that name.
