Grosvenor Park is a mostly residential neighbourhood located in east-central Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is a suburban subdivision, composed of a near-even mix of low-density, single detached dwellings and apartment-style units. As of 2006, the area is home to 1,645 residents. The neighbourhood is considered an upper-income area, with an average family income of $67,544, an average dwelling value of $329,988 and a home ownership rate of 44.8%. According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2013 was $493,174.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Grosvenor Park )〕 ==History== The land for the Grosvenor Park neighbourhood was annexed by the city between 1910 and 1919.〔 〕 According to a 1913 map of registered subdivisions, the neighbourhood was originally split in two sections called University View and Alexandra Park. By the 1950s, the design of residential neighbourhoods departed from the previous grid system of roadways. A more modern system of curving residential streets, feeding into collector roads that connected to arterial roads was implemented, and the size of the development was based upon the drawing area of an elementary school. The philosophy was to create smaller, more aesthetically pleasing neighbourhoods with fewer intersections and more controlled traffic flow. Grosvenor Park was the first such neighbourhood designed with this idea in mind.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 A View From Above - Key to Landmarks )〕 The majority of home construction took place between 1946 and 1970, and was generally completed by 1980.〔 The street names honour prominent early settlers of Nutana: *''Bate Crescent'' - W.P. Bate, first Secretary Treasurer of the Saskatoon Public School Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://schools.spsd.sk.ca/nutana/history_of_nutana.htm )〕 *''Copland Crescent, Court'' - Copland, Thomas (1842-1906), city councillor (1903-1904). *''Garrison Crescent'' - George Wesley Garrison, pioneer. He built a two-storey fieldstone house on the northwest corner of Broadway Avenue and 10th Street. In 1918 it was dismantled down to the stone foundation and rebuilt with concrete and brick veneer. *''Isbister Street'' - Malcolm Scarth Halsetter Isbister, mayor of Saskatoon (1905) and president of the Board of Trade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = City of Saskatoon )〕 *''Lake Crescent'' - John Lake, first commissioner of the Temperance Colonization Society and recognized founder of Saskatoon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = City of Saskatoon - City Clerk's Office )〕 *''Latham Place'' - Peter Latham (1835-1912), 2nd president of the Temperance Colony Pioneers' Society (1882) *''Leslie Avenue'' - James Leslie, moved to Saskatoon with the Temperance Colony. He opened a general store (1896) and flour milling/grain company (1906) with future mayor James R. Wilson. In 1903 he was president of the newly formed Board of Trade. Grosvenor Park School opened in 1958 and was named after the subdivision as it was the first school in the area. Due to declining enrolment, the school was closed and in 1993, the building was purchased by the Muslim Community of Saskatoon. Today it is the Saskatoon Islamic Centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.islamiccenter.sk.ca/community_1.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grosvenor Park, Saskatoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
