Historic Deer Park!

May 2, 2023 @ 4:00 pm6:00 pm

In 1837, the Heath family purchased 40 acres on the northwest corner of Yonge and St. Clair and named it Deer Park. The neighbourhood included a racetrack, a school, and a hotel. Hotel guests could feed deer that roamed the land. The property was subdivided in 1846 and was sold off by 1874.

In 1891, Upper Canada College moved from its downtown Toronto location to Deer Park, and in 1931, De La Salle College followed to settle on the estate ‘Oaklands’ that was purchased and built by Senator John Macdonald. Oaklands forms part of the southern boundary of Deer Park.

This walk is for all fitness levels. The meeting place for our walking adventure is just outside the Deer Park Library at 40 St. Clair Avenue East. We will return to the starting point after the walk which is adjacent to the TTC St. Clair Station.

This walk is tip based with a minimum price of $10.00 per person!
