I'm unsure what this location will be called but it is growing more natural with each seasons. The birds, butterflies, ducks and human all love these man made lakes and this quiet figure eight trail.
This was the site of the old open pit clay mine. I remember getting into big trouble for trespassing into the mine. The huge pit was one of the coolest places in Streetsville as a young boy. They have now filled the mine in and a business park is planned for the new land. Mullet creek runs along the east site and is lined with several new man made ponds to replace the old wet land. I hope next summer the park and ponds are in working order. There is a nice bike paths that run the parameter of the 3 ponds. We got a lot of rocks for our garden. My wife loves to go for walks here.
There has been a family of beavers living in Streetsville since as long as I can remember. Having nature so close is part of what make Streetsville such a nice place to live. If you follow a small path next to the river at Vic Johnston park there is a beaver lodge at the end. The beavers don't always show but I have consistently seen them for 25 years. Look out for the the delicious black berries that grow vigorously behind the beaver lodge.
