Thomson Memorial Park, a 41.8-hectare park north of Lawrence Avenue East, is home to the Scarborough Historical Museum. Established on land granted to the founding family of Scarborough, David and Mary Thomson, around 1798, the park boasts amenities including a baseball diamond, soccer field, tennis courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment, wading pools/splash pads, a pond, washrooms, and dog parks.
Following the West Highland Creek tributary, the park offers numerous paths through wooded ravines, providing a natural escape within the city. As part of the PanAm Path and connected to the Gatineau Hydro corridor via the Meadoway, the park is actively managed. Since 2024, stewards have been diligently removing invasive plants like burdock and garlic mustard, and since 2025, have planted native species to enhance biodiversity and outcompete non-native plants. Come join us for some “Nature Therapy” and help give nature a helping hand!
