The Eco Park was designed to form a green corridor between the natural features (Mallard marsh, Cardinal Woods and the East Humber River), while improving biological diversity & ecological functions; and providing recreational & educational opportunities. Key elements include the reshaping of the land to direct water flow patterns & maximize storm water recharge as it enters the Humber River, and the use of native plant species to provide habitat & food for wildlife. As part of the Town’s’ Walk on the Wild Side’, the Eco Park trail system also features a series of custom designed interpretive sign panels.
