Hillcrest Park is a new TNS site for 2024. The park sits atop the Davenport escarpment and has an amazing view of the City of Toronto from the late fall until early summer. It is 2.1 hectares in size and features a children’s playground with a wading pool, a basketball court, four tennis courts, an outdoor ping pong table, an dog off leash area, a community garden, an open area for informal recreation and a natural area that runs along the southern and eastern sections of the park.
This year, we will begin removing invasive plants such as Garlic Mustard, Urban Avens, Burdock and Buckthorn from the southern and eastern sections of the park.
