Limited access to new provincial park in Uxbridge starts July 1The newly established Uxbridge Urban Provincial Park will be open to the public on a limited basis as of July 1. Haydn Watters got an early access tour of the site to learn more about the new park and its trails.But over the past 15 months, Ontario Parks have scrambled to open Uxbridge Urban Provincial Park, about 70 kilometres northeast of Toronto.
The property used to be owned by businessman Joey Tanenbaum. He wanted to build a mega housing development — but faced much opposition from locals. Instead, he swapped the land with the province for property in Pickering. Coulter says locals have been trying to protect the land for 20 years. Public access starts July 1, although it will be limited at first — there are hiking trails for day-use and a few parking spots.
