Sorauren Avenue Park is a multi-use urban green space located on the grounds of a former bus garage in Toronto's Roncesvalles neighbourhood. The park features two tennis courts and a multipurpose sports field suitable for soccer and other field sports. A dedicated off-leash dog area provides space for pets, reflecting the high density of dog owners in the surrounding residential area. The site includes a large fieldhouse that hosts community programming and local events. The park landscape incorporates distinct pathways that connect residential streets to the wider rail corridor network. It serves as a central hub for the Sorauren Farmers' Market, which has operated on the site for over a decade. The area maintains a blend of recreational athletic facilities and open lawn space. Pedestrian traffic primarily flows through the park to access the nearby West Toronto Railpath.
