MILA will be situated in a family-friendly suburban neighbourhood. Taking up space that had once been a school ground, MILA will be surrounded by other homes and amenities. Madina Academy, Donwood Park Public School, are nearby, and soon, two other schools, Bendale Technical Institute on Midland, and David and Mary Thomson Collegiate Institute will both be folded into a new school, Lawrence Midland Secondary. This brand new school will be right next to the development, and will be a bright, modern new place for students to learn and grow very close to home! Just minutes down Lawrence Avenue is the beautiful Thomson Memorial Park. This midsize park is on the site of the Scarborough Historical Museum, which features historical houses of the founding family of Scarborough. This park has an outdoor baseball diamond and soccer field, plus tennis courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, wading pools, and dog parks. A gorgeous place to spend a sunny afternoon, Thomson Memorial Park will make for the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. There are plenty of local amenities and entertainment.
