It also has picnic areas, playgrounds, wading pools, and dog parks.[1] The park follows the West Highland Creek, a tributary of the Highland Creek, and is served by bicycle paths. There are also many paths located throughout the wooded ravines, showing a glimpse of the nature within the city.[1] In 1956, a site north of the creek at Brimley Road was excavated and assessed by the University of Toronto. It was determined to be a Huron-Wendat village site dating to the late 1200s. The site is believed to be linked to the Taber Hill ossuary located a few kilometres east. The spot is marked by a plaque erected by the Township of Scarborough.[4] At the time, the Reeve of Scarborough, Gus Harris was seeking to open a museum or recreated "Indian village" as an attraction for Scarborough. Another Wyandot village site was found in 2000 north of L'Amoreaux Park (North), which may also be linked to this site.[5] See alsoList of oldest buildings and structures in TorontoReferences1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Parks, Forestry & Recreation : Thomson Memorial Park|url=http://www1.toronto.ca/parks/prd/facilities/complex/543/|website=Toronto|accessdate=18 November 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Parks, Foresty & Recreation : Scarborough Historical Museum|url=http://www1.toronto.ca/parks/prd/facilities/complex/954/index.htm|website=Toronto|accessdate=18 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Descendants of David Thomson|url=http://home.cogeco.ca/~rthomson/david/index.htm|accessdate=18 November 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://torontoplaques.com/Pages/Indian_Village_Site.html |title=Indian Village Site |accessdate=October 31, 2016 |website=Torontoplaques.com}} 5. ^{{cite web |type=pdf |url=http://asiheritage.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Alexandra-Final-Report.pdf |title=Report on the Stage 3–4 Salvage Excavation of the Alexandra Site |author=Archaeological Services Inc. |accessdate=October 31, 2016}} External links
