Berczy Park is a small park located behind the Gooderham Building at Front Street and Wellington Street in Toronto.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, commercial buildings occupied the area (Pacific Building at 34 Front, Stern's Building at 40-42 Front, Janus Building at 50 Front), but it became a vacant lot and parking lot by the 1980s.
Thereafter, a tree-lined city park was added and renovations, completed in 2017, added a large three-tier fountain designed by Montreal landscape architect Claude Cormier.
The fountain features 27 cast-iron dogs spouting water, a cast-iron cat, and a bone crowning the fountain.
The fountain, which features a trough for dogs to drink from, became a popular destination, particularly for dog lovers.
