Milliken Park

Milliken Park spans 32 hectares and features three playgrounds, a splash pad, picnic areas, walking trails, mature trees, and open green spaces for recreational activities.

Named after Norman Milliken, a Loyalist who established the settlement in 1807, the park opened in 1993 on land that was originally agricultural farmland.

The park hosts annual Canada Day fireworks celebrations and offers diverse community programs including visual arts, dance, fitness classes, and summer camps through its recreation centre.

Located at coordinates 43.82923°N and -79.270999°W, the park is accessible via public transit and local roads with ample parking facilities available for visitors.

In 2010, Toronto implemented a ban on kite flying at Milliken Park due to dangerous kite fighting practices that used sharp strings and posed risks to wildlife and visitors.
