Hollinger Park, Municipal park in Timmins, Canada
Hollinger Park is a public park in Timmins with expansive grass areas, athletic fields, and recreational facilities arranged in two main sections. The north section features a children's playground and water park, while the south section contains baseball and soccer fields for organized sports.
The park was created on the site of former Miller Lake and takes its name from prospector Benny Hollinger, who discovered gold in the area during 1909. The land was developed through backfilling with mining tailings, preserving the connection to the region's mining heritage.
The park's name honours prospector Benny Hollinger, whose 1909 gold find set off the Porcupine gold rush. The Timmins Men's Baseball League has played here since 1985, and Shania Twain, a Timmins native, performed on July 1, 1999 during her Come on Over Tour.
The park sits at the southeast corner of Algonquin Boulevard and Brunette Road. A linked trail network crosses the grounds, and part of it becomes an outdoor skating path in winter. The 2019 beautification added a paved driveway and parking area, an accessible playground and an upgraded splash pad.
Shania Twain, who grew up in Timmins, performed at Hollinger Park on 1 July 1999 during her Come on Over Tour. A year later, in 2000, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride put on a show in the park.
