The beautiful David and Mary Thomson Park is located at the intersection of Brimley Road and Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough. This park has many different purposes, from recreational activities, historical landmarks and personal leisure. Although this is a digital interpretive tour, this park is a great local heritage tourism location that is very popular among residents in the local area; and the goal is to draw more tourists from areas outside of the city to this park.

David and Mary Thomson Park is a great area for various types of recreation. There are walking trails located throughout the entire park that are also suitable for cycling or running. If entering at the main entrance of off Brimley Road you will encounter a dog park on one side of the entrance, and a few tennis courts on the other side. On the other side of the park, closer to the intersection of Brimley Road and St. Andrew's Road is a soccer field, baseball field as well as a lot of open field space for any other recreation. The park has been used for local elementary school cross country meets for many years. In recent years the park has added outdoor fitness equipment and machines for the public to use.

This park is named after David and Mary Thomson who were the first European settlers in Scarborough. They immigrated to Scarborough from Scotland in 1799 and the current location of the David and Mary Thomson Park was once their family farm. The Thomson's immigrated from Dumfriesshire, Scotland; David's brother, Archibald was the first member of the family to arrive in Canada. One of the reasons why the Thomson family chose to immigrate to Scarborough specifically was because they wanted the large land that they would be able to purchase, and have a similar family farm as they did in Scotland. The Thomson family paved the way for many more Scottish immigrants to move to Scarborough.

David and Mary Thomson park is owned by Parks and Recreation of the city of Toronto.

In my opinion this park is very accessible. The walking trails located throughout are both wheelchair and mobility scooter accessible, and there are limited hills and uneven pathways.The walking paths take you throughout the entirety of the park, as represented in the images.
