A 2.5-hectare park overlooking the East Highland Creek ravine near Ellesmere Road and Scarborough Golf Club Road. This park features a fenced Dogs Off-Leash Area, a children’s playground and four lit outdoor tennis courts. Located at the south end of the park is the Curran Hall Community Centre.
We will be stewarding the meadow hill and forest on the south west side between the black walnut stand and the winding path down into the ravine. Enjoy stunning views of the Highland Creek watershed while we help emancipate the native plants from the tyranny of the Dog Strangling Vine. The stewarding activities in this area have a long and rich history and we hope as a new TNS site in 2024 to continue this care.
