Neville Park Loop is the eastern terminus of the 501 Queen streetcar line, the longest streetcar route of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).[1] It is located at the southwest corner of Queen Street East and Nursewood Road in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto.
Streetcars enter eastbound and loop anticlockwise to exit at Nursewood Road and turn north to Queen Steet where they return westbound.

History
The loop was constructed in 1922 by the newly created Toronto Transportation Commission, which had taken over and amalgamated existing ageing streetcar systems within the city limits.[2] For that reason the line ends here at the easterly boundary of what had been the old City of Toronto and the westerly boundary of Scarborough, Ontario.
On Neville Park Boulevard south of Queen Street there remains a short section of track running towards the lake where there once was a wye.[3]
Services
Although this is the terminus for 501 Queen streetcars, there is no passenger access to the loop. The first westbound stop is immediately opposite on the north side of Queen Street and the last stop eastbound is at Neville Park Boulevard. The 143 Downtown/Beach Express bus service also terminates here.[4]
