Deer Park

Deer Park Neighbourhood History

Deer Park received it’s name from the Heath Family who owned 40 acres of the area in 1837. In the 1850’s the area included a racetrack, a school and a hotel. It was common for visitors to feed the many deer that would roam the Heath Family’s property. The property was subdivided in 1846 and was eventually sold off in 1874. In 1891, the prestigious Upper Canada College moved to Deer Park from it’s urban location. Del La Salle College then followed by moving north to Deer Park in 1931 and was moved to an estate known as “Oaklands” which was bought and built by Senator John Macdonald in 1858.
