Lytton Park's other assets include beautiful homes on large lots, outstanding recreational facilities, and a close proximity to excellent public and private schools. Lytton Park is comprised of an area encompassing Yonge Street on the east to roughly a half block west of Mona Drive., where the former municipal boundaries of Old Toronto and North York aligned. Lytton Park public schools are a big drawing card.These schools include the highly regarded: John Ross Robertson elementary school, Glenview Middle school and Lawrence Park Collegiate High School. Havergal College girls private school and Blessed Sacrament catholic school are also drawing cards for families looking to move into this neighbourhood. [History] Lytton Park was originally known simply as Lot 3 Concession 1 West of Yonge Street, This was a 200 acre farm lot granted to John MacDougall a United Empire Loyalist. In 1828, the Snider family built the first house in the neighbourhood at 744 Duplex Avenue. The original Regency style cottage was expanded over the years and is now Georgian in appearance. It is one of the oldest private residences in Toronto. Lytton Park’s rich history also includes a castle and a horse racing track. The castle known as Glen Castle – sometimes referred to as Ainsley Castle - once stood perched on the hill where Glen Castle Street is now situated. The racetrack was situated south of Glengrove Avenue and west of Yonge Street. It began operations in 1887 however this enterprise was short-lived due to financial woes that led to the closure of the track just two years later. The Lytton Park neighbourhood as we know it today was conceived in 1886 when the Metropolitan Street Railway began a one horse carriage service to north Toronto. Speculating on future land development for the area the railway company purchased the 200 acre Beatty farm creating the Glen Grove Estates subdivision. The first houses in the neighbourhood along Glengrove Avenue were built in the 1890s and early 1900s. Lytton Park was part of the Town of North Toronto when it was annexed by the City of Toronto in 1912. This brought much needed municipal services to the area which in turn spurred on residential development. An influx of families led to the building of John Ross Robertson Public School in 1921 which has been a neighbourhood landmark ever since. *Trreb.ca
