\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend we found out that Toronto heroes and rock icons, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush, are having a park named after them<\/a>. Since we have a mayor who is insistent on proclaiming things, we thought we\u2019d offer up a few more suggestions to what and who Toronto can honour with a park. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Drake Park
\n<\/strong>Well this one is a no brainer. While it only took them the better part of 30 years to recognize Rush, the amount of good karma Drake brings to this city at the moment more than closes that gap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hayden Christensen Park
\n<\/strong>What? We\u2019re just not going to devote a park to the Dark Lord of the Sith? Riiiiight.<\/p>\n

The Tragically Hip Park
\n<\/strong>Arguably the second most cult-worthy band coming out of the Toronto area. You also cannot put on a Toronto rock station without hearing one of their songs.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling Park
\n<\/strong>The patron saint of nice, respectable gentlemen, deserves a nice, respectable park you\u2019d be proud to bring home to mother, no?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Not-Making-Eye-Contact-On-The-Street Park
\n<\/strong>Think about it, we can visit the park and go to great lengths to ignore other human beings that aren\u2019t with you.<\/p>\n

Will Arnett Park
\n<\/strong>Oh, right, like the guy in the $6,000 suit is going to get a park named after him.<\/p>\n

Food Truck Park
\n<\/strong>Maybe a park for all the food trucks of Toronto? You know – because there\u2019s never any space for them. BRB. This is actually a brilliant business idea.<\/p>\n

Did we miss any? Give us a shout below or on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n
