East Humber Headwaters Park is the provisional name for a proposed park in eastern King, Ontario, Canada. It would be located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and include the headwaters of the Humber River. It would consist of a wedge-shaped[1] portion of the land bounded by Bathurst Street at the municipal border of King and Richmond Hill in the east, King Road to the south, Dufferin Street to the west, and 15th Sideroad to the north.[2] The parcel of over 500 acres (200 ha) of land on which the park would be established is privately owned vacant property, with the owner willing to exchange the land with the Government of Ontario for another parcel suitable for development.[3][1] The land is subject to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.[1]
Resolutions supporting the creation of the park have been passed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the government of the Regional Municipality of York, the municipal government of King, and the municipal government of Toronto.[3] It's creation was supported by candidate representatives for the King—Vaughan electoral district during the Ontario general election, 2018.[2]
The goal is to gradually restore the natural habitats, improving the wildlife linkage corridor between the eastern and western portions of the Oak Ridges Moraine, and to eventually open it to the public.[1]
