Located at the mouth of Etobicoke Creek on Lake Ontario, Marie Curtis Park was build after the devastating floods of Hurrican Hazel in 1954 destroyed fifty-six cottages and homes on the site leaving hundreds homeless and seven people dead. 

The park features a public swimming beach, a wading pool, a park for children, and a trail through desiduous trees. It is a featured landmark in Dorothy Ellen Palmer's When Fenelon Falls, and on site you will find a large rock with a plaque commemorating the destruction and loss that has never been forgotten.

When Fenelon Falls

A spaceship hurtles towards the moon, hippies gather at Woodstock, Charles Manson leads a cult into murder and a Kennedy drives off a Chappaquiddick dock: it?s the summer of 1969. And as mankind takes its giant leap, Jordan May March, disabled bastard and genius, age fourteen, limps and schemes her way towards adulthood. Trapped at the March family?s cottage, she spends her days memorizing Top 40 lists, avoiding her adoptive cousins, catching frogs and plotting to save Yogi, the bullied, buttertart-eating bear caged at the top of March Road.
