Barbara Ann Scott Ice Trail
This small, attractive park sits amid tall buildings on all four sides. It has walkways, benches, flower beds, a water feature and five large bronze statues of frogs. In winter, an oval "trail" in the park can be frozen for ice skating. The trail is named after Barbara Ann Scott, a Canadian figure skater and a gold medal winner in the 1948 Olympics. You can buy a coffee in the shopping mall at the north side and enjoy it in the park.
There is bronze map of "Yonge Street" set in the sidewalk across the street from Sankofa Square (former name: Yonge-Dundas Square) to promote the urban myth that Yonge Street is the longest street in the world. Until 1999, the Guinness Book of World Records supported this myth because it incorrectly assumed that provincial Highway 11, 1896 km long, and Yonge Street, 88 km long, were one and the same.
Yonge-Dundas Square
Sankofa Square (former name: Yonge-Dundas Square) is a bustling outdoor public space & live-event venue hosting free concerts, movies & community events. The square has fountains and sitting areas and is surrounded by buildings with colourful electronic billboards. The city renamed the square in 2023 to distance it from the namesake of Dundas Street, Henry Dundas, a Scottish politician who had argued for an eight-year delay of the British abolition of slavery, against those who supported immediate emancipation.
