Downsview Dells Park Trail
Downsview Dells was developed in October 1960. It was originally called Black Creek Park, but this name led to confusion with Black Creek Pioneer Village in the Black Creek Conservation Area further north. The name was subsequently changed to Downsview Dells at the request of the former Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
Downsview Dells Park located at the north-end of this neighbourhood is part of a scenic 4.7 km. paved trail that follows the Black Creek Valley north to Black Creek Pioneer Village, a restored pre-Confederation village at Steeles Avenue West. Downsview also contains a number of smaller recreational parks whose facilities range from tennis courts and baseball diamonds to children's playgrounds. Information provided by the Toronto website.
