Thomson Memorial Park, Urban park in Scarborough district of Toronto, Canada
Thomson Memorial Park is an urban park in Toronto covering approximately 40 hectares along a creek valley. It features wooded ravines with trails, open fields, sports courts, and playgrounds suited to different ages and abilities.
The park occupies land once owned by the Thomson family, early settlers who arrived in the late 1700s. Archaeological work in the mid-1950s uncovered remains of a Huron-Wendat settlement that thrived here centuries earlier.
Local families gather here regularly for picnics and informal recreation along the creek and open fields. The space functions as a community gathering point where neighbors meet and children play together.
The park offers baseball and tennis facilities, walking trails through forest and open areas, and picnic spots with tables. Wear sturdy footwear since terrain varies, especially on paths through wooded sections.
Recent renovations added inclusive playground equipment designed for children with different physical abilities, including specialized swings. This upgrade made recreational areas accessible to a wider range of young visitors and families.
