Field of Dreams Park

Venue

Originally purchased by Public Works for the redevelopment of Tecumseh Road, this park was developed in 1993 with playground equipment. At least nine local groups helped to raise funding needed for the project. The generous contributors were genuine in their participation and recognize that, through the Windsor Foundation, many more successful projects to benefit the community at large can be undertaken.

Francois Court Park

Venue

During a routine title search, the City discovered that a vacant lot between Ellrose and Joseph Janisse avenues had been municipal property since 1937. Surprised but pleased by this discovery, the Department of Parks and Recreation began exploring the possibility of establishing a park on the site. In 1985, Francois Court Park officially opened. Equipped with a modest assortment of playground equipment, including a senior swing set, Francois Court Park is a compact facility designed to serve the needs of youngsters (particularly tots) living in the immediate area.

Fred Thomas Park

Venue

Many area residents still refer to Fred Thomas Park as Glengarry Court, a name selected in 1959 to honour Windsor's sizeable Scottish‑Canadian population. In particular, S.S. Macdonnell, first mayor of both the Village and Town of Windsor, was able to trace his ancestral roots back to the rural town of Glengarry, Scotland. The land was part of a redevelopment area that was cleared of homes and buildings in the 1960s. In 1976, a joint effort by the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Downtown Neighbourhood Improvement Program established the Glengarry Court Community Centre. In 1989, the centre was relocated to the Thompson Towers building. In 1981, Glengarry Court Park was renamed in honour of the late Fred Thomas, a long-time Windsor resident who starred on the Patterson Collegiate and Assumption College basketball teams in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The park underwent improvements in 2023, including a new farm-themed accessible playground and splash pad.
