Springbank Park, Urban park in London, Canada
The park extends over 240 hectares along the Thames River, featuring 30 kilometers of trails through diverse natural environments and landscaped grounds.
In 1881, the steamboat Victoria capsized near Cove Bridge in the park, resulting in 182 casualties and marking a significant change in river transportation.
The Storybook Gardens section of the park opened in 1958, connecting children with nursery rhymes through themed attractions and animal exhibitions.
Visitors access multiple recreational facilities including playgrounds, picnic spots, cycling paths, and winter activities such as ice skating and tobogganing.
The escape of Slippery the Seal in 1958 led to a 400-kilometer journey to Ohio, creating a media sensation and resulting in a citywide celebration upon return.
