Sorauren Park / Then and Now

Before the park, this site was occupied by a TTC maintenence depot. For a short time in the late 1980’s it was used a film studio. Captain Power was shot here.

Both Sorauren and Roncesvalles are Spanish names.

Colonel Walter O’Hara, one of the earliest land owners in Parkdale fought in the

Battle of Sorauren at the Roncesvalles Pass in Spain

during the War of 1812. He named the streets as a tribute.

The site today.
