-My stationwagon on the left!
-I think that’s Sue, Deb and Erin standing in the middle!
-I remember that place as always floods few times.....
-This flood was caused when Maple Avenue collapsed and then the water backed up and came rushing down Sliver Creek. Once the backup of water went through the water level dropped. And flooding was NOT a common occurrence, I lived there!
-I thought due to ice jams from the Glen lol duh see you learn something new every day no matter how old ya are !!! 🙂
-I don't know where or when you lived there but every spring from at least 1976 to 1983 the park was under water. Not as bad as this picture but always flooded at the end.
-I remember this happening …………...more than once
-Yes, a few times while I lived there!
-Do we know what year the photo was taken
-Guessing by the cars, I'd say very early 80's.
- Early 80’s.
-said 81 or 82.
-Tks for the picture...reminded me of my dad Norm Guthrie
-Could this have been when the little boy was missing. He had fallen into the river. Every time I drive by I think of him and his Mother who was running up and down frantically searching for her little one. Something that I will never forget. I noticed the police car there.
-I use to plow the park.
-All those years I never was in that PARK
-I loved growing up there.
-There are leaves on the trees so it not an ice jam.
-There's a good reason why people shouldn't live there anymore, as hard as it was for all the people to have had to move out.
-Just as the picture indicates - it's because of the flooding!
-I lived there for ten years and that was the only flood. It wasn’t due to winter thaw or ice jams. If you see the comments above, this “flood” was due to the collapse of Maple Rd bridge by Cedervale. He water backed up then rushed through.
-But it's still in a low area & prone to flooding, especially with people living there. I know I wasn't there & people were angered at having to move out. Wasn't my decision. But if it's any consolation, Willow Park is very nice and environmentally friendly with its natural trees & plants and all.
-If everyone who lives in a low area was forced to move due to flooding danger, why hasn’t it happened anywhere else in Halton Hills?
-Good question.
-More homes in town made more water from suage plant into creek predicted to cause higher eater levels in Willow Park. Is what I was told.
-Is there a Park there in the summer for Folks to picnic ? Open to the Public or is it Privately owned now?
-Anyone can go any time they want. There is a gazebo with picnic tables - perfect place for a picnic.
-That would be a lovely spot. Is there parking?
-Yes, right off Mary St by the garden.
-You can park at the Norval school then walk down the path to the park - I took my grandsons there one year they had a blast looking at the turtles etc !!
-somehow I mostly remember it flooded lol Had an aunt and uncle and 2 cousins that used to holiday there
-it is part of Lucy Maude Montgomery park I think
-I new I connected to park from LMM park
-I thought people moved in late 1960’s or early 70’s.
I grew up in Norval and visited the park in 2011 with a friend who had lived there for a few years.
-I remember name. I lived In Norval in early 50's.
