Ireland Park in Toronto, Canada, was established in 2007 to honor the Irish migrants who arrived in Toronto during the Great Famine in 1847. The park features sculptures by Irish artist Rowan Gillespie, representing the struggles and hopes of the Irish immigrants. It includes a limestone wall with the names of those who perished in 1847. The park serves as a tribute to the resilience and spirit of the Irish people seeking a new life in Canada.
