The formal address is 67 Insmill but that address is simply a trail head to the middle of the park. There is no parking at that trail head. One of the park signs has posted an incorrect address (67 Goldridge).
There are two playgrounds in the park. The one at the parking lot is for the older crowd. The playground at the eastern edge of the park is smaller and more suitable for the youngest users. Unfortunately, that playground equipment is not in the shade. While there is no parking lot near the smaller playground, the Signature Centre shopping mall is along the eastern edge of Insmill Park.
Insmill Pond (actually a storm water drainage site) was created in 1999. The park was developed the following year. The park is a relatively large site (6.87 hectares or about 17 acres) fronting busy Terry Fox Drive. However, there is no vehicle access from Terry Fox Drive. The green space west of Insmill Park was zoned for retail businesses but continues to be green in 2017.
