Earl Bales Park, Public park in North York, Toronto, Canada
Earl Bales Park extends across 127 acres of land with walking trails, playgrounds, and an outdoor amphitheater alongside the West Don River.
The land transformed from John Bales's family farm to York Downs Golf and Country Club in 1922 before becoming a public park in 1975.
The Canadian Society for Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Site contains 5,000 names of victims and survivors who settled in neighboring communities.
The park features multiple facilities including picnic areas, fire pits, drinking fountains, washrooms, and designated parking lots for visitors throughout the year.
The North York Ski Centre within the park offers three intermediate slopes and one beginner slope, making it Toronto's only remaining alpine skiing facility.
