Park Public (now Nelson Mandela Park) is the oldest school on its original site in Toronto. From the 1700s the area north of Lake Ontario and east of Parliament to the Don River was known as "the park". The original school building was built in 1853. It opened on April 5, 1853 with four classrooms - one of only three city public schools.
The old school was used until 1920 when it was torn down to provide playground space for students attending the more modern school completed in 1917.
From 1914-1917, as the total enrollment of the school was 1259 (double of what it is today), the construction of the school expanded to become the largest school built in Canada. At the time, the cost to build the school was $182,000.
The School gym was not built until 1957. At that time, there was also no school parking lot. Here's an overhead view of South Regent Park and its surrounding neighborhood taken in 1955.
On Saturday, February 7, 2004, Nelson Mandela Park Public School celebrated its 151st birthday. The school is the oldest school in Toronto that is still standing on its original site. Staff were very excited to share that special day with former students, teachers and community members. Over the years the school has been an important and central connecting force for this community.
On June 12, 2010 Nelson Mandela Park Public School celebrated its history and the official temporary closing of the doors to an exciting project to rebuild this school. They look forward to returning to a new, state of the art facility where they can continue on with the honour and distinction that has remained a part of this school for many many years.
Nelson Mandela Park Public School is a downtown school located in the heart of the Regent Park Community. It was renamed in October of 2001 in honour of Nelson Mandela with his visit to the school. The original Park School was built in 1853. The present Nelson Mandela Park School is the oldest public school in Toronto on its original site.
The school serves a highly diverse population of just under 500 students coming from a mix of ethno-racial backgrounds, including students of Asian, African, Caribbean and European diasporas.
Nelson Mandela Park is a composite school offering programs from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. The school has an active Parenting Centre and a LINC Parenting Program.
