The Cooksville community was referred to as “The 5 and 10 or the “Four Corners”. Both monikers make reference to the Hurontario and Dundas cross streets which are still the main geographical cross streets for this neighbourhood. Today Cooksville has grown into an urban community with apartment buildings, townhomes and shopping plazas. Cooksville is a vibrant and multicultural neighbourhood with a diverse built character ranging from residential houses to industrial and commercial buildings, and suburban style shopping plazas. There is also an abundance of parkland in this neighbourhood including Cooksville Park and the Cooksville Creek Trail.
