Hollinger Park

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 serves as a gathering place where local sports teams and community members come together throughout the year. It hosts events that bring neighbors together and support local recreational traditions.

The park is easily accessible and offers facilities suited to different activities and age groups. Visitors should note that the two sections serve different purposes, so exploring both areas will provide a complete experience.

The Fred Salvador Athletic Field was dedicated in 2007 to honor a longtime parks department employee who spent decades building and maintaining recreational facilities. This recognition reflects how local workers shaped the park's growth over many years.
