Sunnybrook Park in Toronto is one of the many parks along the Don River. It was originally known as Kilgour Park, or Sunnybrook Farm, in honour of Joseph Kilgour who had a 154-hectare country estate there. The land was donated to the City by Alice Kilgour in 1928. The Kilgour barns were preserved and currently serve as a public horseback riding school. Part of the land was also used for Sunnybrook Hospital.
