Woodlands Neighbourhood The Woodlands Neighbourhood is bounded by Petticoat Creek to the west, the Canadian National rail line to the north, the Amberlea watercourse east of the Highway 401 ramps to Kingston Road, and Highway 401 to the south. The total area of the neighbourhood is 1.49 square kilometres.
Initially, residential development began along Old Forest Road, Highbush Trail and Rosebank Road between 1900 and 1940. Further subdivision activity occurred east of Rosebank Road in the 1980’s. An apartment building was constructed at the northeast corner of Whites Road and Kingston Road in the 1990’s. Housing in the neighbourhood is primarily detached dwellings on large lots. The neighbourhood has been largely built out with limited infill opportunities remaining on lands south of Sheppard Avenue and east of Whites Road, and along Kingston Road.
Woodlands includes: a secondary school; a public swimming pool;
a seniors/community centre and library; two neighbourhood parks;
three places of worship; a fire hall; and a hotel. With respect to
shopping and personal services, the neighbourhood is served by
commercial plazas, restaurants, financial institutions, offices, a
medical centre, car dealerships, and a supermarket along
Kingston Road.
Rosebank Road and Whites Road are the main north/south routes
through the neighbourhood, connecting Sheppard Avenue to
Kingston Road. Access to and from Highway 401 is available from
Whites Road, with a westbound Highway 401 on- and off-ramp
situated further east along Kingston Road.
The South Petticoat Ravine, located on the west side of the
neighbourhood forms part of the City’s Natural Heritage System,
and it drains southwards towards Lake Ontario. The densely
forested ravine provides a habitat for fauna and flora, and a scenic
backdrop to adjacent residential dwellings.

This brochure provides information on the Woodlands Neighbourhood population and social characteristics, derived
from census data by Statistics Canada. Statistics Canada completes a census of the Canadian population every five years.
This brochure will be updated and/or revised as new census data becomes available.
The 1991 Census Long Form questionnaire and the 2011 National Household Survey are based on sample surveys of the
population. The 1991 Census Long Form questionnaire was mandatory while the 2011 National Household Survey was
voluntary. Due to this change in methodology, the 2011 data may be subject to underreporting or response bias. In certain instances where survey responses are limited, data may be
suppressed resulting in the data not being published.
