About Markland Wood and K1 Speed's Proximity

Markland Wood is Etobicoke's westernmost residential community, sitting directly on the Etobicoke Creek at the boundary of Toronto and Mississauga. Bounded by Renforth Drive to the east, Burnhamthorpe Road to the north, and the Markland Wood Golf Club to the south, it is a quiet, established neighbourhood known for its single-family homes, mature streetscape, and strong homeowners association that has been active since 1962.

K1 Speed Mississauga at 1330 Eglinton Avenue East sits just across the Etobicoke Creek to the west, reachable from Markland Wood in approximately 10 minutes via Burnhamthorpe Road heading west to Dixie, then north to Eglinton.

The facility sits in the same commercial zone that west Etobicoke residents already access regularly, and the cross-boundary trip is seamless by car.
