Phyllis Rawlinson Park trails
Phyllis Rawlinson Park is Richmond Hill’s largest park on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The parkland was donated to the Town by Phyllis Rawlinson, a long-time resident of Richmond Hill, on the condition it be managed for conservation purposes. The 36 hectare property includes the original farmhouse and barn (George Forster House, York Region’s oldest designated building) and the Robert Holland Interpretive Centre. The park has been maintained as a natural setting and is home to outdoor education programs for residents and community groups to enjoy.
As Phyllis Rawlinson Park is equipped with barbeque facilities and fire pits, it is the perfect place for outdoor events of all sorts, from large family reunions to romantic picnics for two. The park is also home to Celebration Forest, a unique woodland where trees are planted in tribute of special occasions and to honour the memory of loved ones. There is a permanent designated Off Leash Dog Area in the park, as well as community allotment gardens.
