The Centennial Park (known as Centennial Park -Eringate) neighbourhood was one of the last areas where working farms operated within Toronto. In 1967, the former Borough of Etobicoke created Centennial Park as a centennial project to celebrate Canada’s one hundredth birthday. It is this landmark park after which this neighbourhood is named.

It is located at the western edge of the City of Toronto. It is bordered on the east by Highway 427, to the north by Pearson International Airport and to the west by Centennial Park and the Etobicoke Creek. It has many fine attributes including an abundance of parkland, a diverse housing stock, a local library, an excellent selection of public (with IB and AP programming) and separate schools, walking and bike trails, as well as convenient access to shopping, Pearson Airport, and transportation. The area is serviced readily by TTC buses, MiWay into Mississauga, and has convenient access to major highways and routes. It also is very close to the up and coming Eglinton LRT, being built at the top of Renforth and Eglinton.

Centennial Park is a regional park that includes 525 acres of recreational facilities. This enormous park has indoor hockey arenas, ski hills, a public golf course, a Mini-Indy go kart track, tennis courts, a 2200 seat stadium, playing fields, outdoor volleyball, batting cages, a pond with paddleboats, picnic sites and a greenhouse, and more. Centennial Park is also the home of the Etobicoke Olympium, a multi-purpose recreational facility that is known for its aquatics, rhythmic gymnastics and aerobics programs. The Etobicoke Olympium also features its own fitness club and pro shop.
