SaveDavid A. Balfour Park is an urban park in the Deer Park neighbourhood of Toronto near the intersection of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue. The park made up of 20.5 hectares of green space consisting of the greenery-covered Rosehill Reservoir and the entirety of the Vale of Avoca with its system of trails.
The park is named after David A. Balfour, a former Toronto city Councillor.
A Small collection of trails in the Vale of Avoca nestled between Rosedale and Deer Park. You won't find any extreme trails here, but the trails you do find are still fun and get the heart pumping.
