CFB 다운스뷰 근처에 묵으면 좋은 이유

CFB Downsview, formally Canadian Forces Base Toronto, isn’t an active base anymore. Today, its former airfield is Downsview Park, a 291‑acre public green space in North York. People come for long walking and cycling paths, big festivals like VELD Music Festival, and the unusual sense of openness you don’t often get inside Toronto. The most distinctive thing is what’s under your feet: this was once one of Canada’s key military aviation sites, and the park still follows the lines of old runways, hangars, and service roads.

CFB 다운스뷰 소개

Downsview’s aviation history starts in 1929, when de Havilland Aircraft of Canada built a manufacturing plant and airfield here. During and after the Second World War, the federal government assembled surrounding land and established RCAF Station Downsview as a front‑line air base for southern Ontario. In 1968, following the unification of Canada’s armed forces, it became Canadian Forces Base Toronto (Downsview). Military operations gradually declined, and the base officially closed on April 1, 1996.

Rather than selling the land off entirely, the federal government committed to keeping most of it as urban recreational space. That decision led to Downsview Park, now managed by Canada Lands Company. Walking the park today, you see open fields laid over former runways, repurposed hangars like the Hangar Sport & Events Centre, and aviation‑themed playgrounds and public art. It’s not a preserved base you tour — it’s a working city park built directly on top of military aviation infrastructure.

가는 방법

Downsview Park is easy to reach by transit. Downsview Park Station connects to TTC Line 1 (Yonge–University) and GO Transit’s Barrie line, with direct access into the park. Several TTC bus routes also serve the area. If you’re driving, access is via Carl Hall Road or Canuck Avenue, with on‑site visitor parking available.

알아두면 좋은 것들

1. Know the scale: at 291 acres, it’s worth checking the park map before you arrive.
2. Event days change everything: festivals bring crowds, restricted zones, and paid areas.
3. Facilities are clustered: washrooms and water fountains are mainly near pavilions.
4. Transit beats driving for events: parking is limited during major festivals.
5. Weather matters: the open surroundings offers little shelter from wind or sun.

CFB 다운스뷰 근처, 어디에 묵을까

Where you stay depends on how central Downsview is to your trip. Staying in Downsview or North York puts you closest to the park and stations like Downsview Park or Sheppard West, which is convenient for events or early walks but offers fewer hotel choices. Yorkdale–Glen Park adds more hotels and easier highway access while staying close by subway. If Downsview is just one stop on a wider Toronto visit, downtown areas make sense, trading a longer ride for far more dining, nightlife, and hotel options.
