The
East
York
Civic
Centre
is
here.
There
is
a
Farmer's
Market
held
here
(not
sure
if
it
is
once
a
week
however
i
see
it
in
the
morning
hours
often).
They
keep
the
place
very
clean
&
more
often
than
not
it's
calm,
quite,
&
you
can
walk
not
bothered
which
is
surprising
as
it
is
a
sort
of
"highway"
for
people
walking
to
work
&
school
as
there's
a
hospital
beside
it,
&
a
high-school
down
the
street
&
people
walking
dog's.
Also
you
can
enter
/
exit
the
park
going
South,
North,
West,
East
all
with
well
constructed,
grass
surrounded,
clean
walkways.
The
Garden
is
immense
near
the
South
/
S.West
corners,
with
a
smaller
garden
&
some
smaller
trees
surrounding
multiple
places
to
sit
near
the
South
E
side
of
the
park.
There
is
also
a
gazebo
(NorthWest
corner)
type
structure
that
forms
a
half
circle
with
brick
walls
that
has
flowers
on-top
&
foliage
around
the
walls,
connected
to
one
of
the
large
gardens
where
you
can
sit.
You
can
walk
around
the
whole
park
in
10
-
15mins.
During
the
fall,
the
day
after
Halloween
they
do
a
pumpkin
walk-
you
can
bring
your
old
jack-o'-lanterns
to
the
park.
Whereas
people
will
surround
the
walkways
with
the
jack-o'-lanterns,
giving
them
one
more
use,
&
creating
a
rare,
fleetingly
beautiful
display.
Also
during
November,
on
Remembrance
Day
they
hold
a
ceremony
in
honour
of
the
fallen
&
vets
which
has
local
squadrons
from
Air
Cadets,
Sea
Cadets,
Army
Cadets
(
i
was
in
Air
Cadets,
as
what
i
remember
the
cadets
meet
&
form
near
the
highschool
down
the
street)
that
march
over,
into
the
park
creating
a
beautiful
display
of
homage
for
our
Heroes
(of
past,
present,
with
the
future).
Plus
in
winter,
near
Christmas
time
they
have
a
very,
very
large
Christmas
tree
in
the
North
West
side
of
the
park,
that
they
would
schedule
a
lightning
for.
