Along with the baseball diamond and children's play area and waiting pool, the park includes a small section of the Great lakes-St. Lawrence Forest, including white pine, hemlock, beech, oak, and sugar maple - some of the trees date as far back as the 1850's! Ongoing volunteer efforts, working together with the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Department are ensuring that the forest survives, and thrives.
