Thomas William Thompson (1913–1985) is best known as Metropolitan Toronto's first Commissioner of Parks (from 1955 until 1981). He is known and recognized nationally and internationally for his work and his sign "Please Walk on the Grass." His most notable achievement was the conversion of the Toronto Island into an enormous park (including a private golf course). He proposed the 12 million dollar plan to level all the buildings and revitalize the area in 1963, and work was completed in 1968. In 1983, the northern half of the Leslie Street Spit was renamed Tommy Thompson Park in his honour.
