I first visited Stan Wadlow Park when I was attending the East York Canada Day Parade ending in this park. At first, it did not appeal to me because of a lack of trees (to make room for baseball diamonds) but I had a chance to tour it and to see that it had a lot to offer. Its East York Skatepark is very popular among skaters. Next to it is a standing wall, to bounce some tennis balls. And you can access Taylor Creek Park and its bike path amidst the trees from the parking lot at the end of Haldon Avenue (on the eastern side of the park ) or from a long staircase (in the northern part of Stan Wadlow).
