Members of Council and residents gathered on Thursday, Aug. 28 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open Mill Race Park. This is the sixth park opening in 2014 which adds more than 11 hectares (27.18 acres) of new parkland for Vaughan residents to enjoy.

 

Mill Race Park is in Ward 4 and features accessible playgrounds, a double tennis court, a full basketball court and a nine-versus-nine soccer field.

The park is at 310 Thomas Cook Ave., north of Rutherford Road, between Dufferin and Bathurst streets.

 

 

“The City of Vaughan is committed to building outdoor spaces that promote a strong and vibrant environment and support our growing community. Having access to a variety of outdoor spaces and amenities is important to Vaughan residents and part of fostering a healthy environment. Mill Race Park is a great spot for residents of all ages and abilities to come for fun and activity, and this park will contribute to the great quality of life we have here in Vaughan.”
- Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua

 

“Mill Race Park is the final neighbourhood park to be completed in this new subdivision, and it continues the City’s tradition of building welcoming and accessible outdoor spaces. With so many amenities, Mill Race Park offers residents of all ages the opportunity to get active, interact with neighbours and enjoy the outdoors. I am confident it will be a busy gathering place for all families for many years to come!”
