Enjoy your visit and please respect the natural integrity of our park. This urban natural feature is here for all to enjoy, now and in the future.

Thanks to a donation of land in 2000 from Peter Foustanellas, this park now covers more than 2 hectares in size.
For decades Young's Pond has been a place for year round recreation and it still is. Young's Pond can be seen on topographical maps from the 1930s. Posted co-ordinates are for the pond viewing spot.
