About Thurston Park

Named in honour of Ford Thurston, a former Sandwich East police chief and the first president of the Sandwich East Kiwanis Club, Thurston Park was established in 1969 and subsequently expanded in 1970. Interestingly, the park was planned before the approximately 300 residential lots in the area were developed. When residential construction began, the Department of Parks and Recreation required the developer to deposit any excavated soil to be used at the park site, an arrangement that saw Thurston Park emerge as the first city park with rolling hills. Not surprisingly, tobogganing is a popular winter activity at the park. During warmer weather, a variety of playground equipment is available, including a creative play unit.

AKO Park

Originally established as Rossini Park in 1951, the Alpha Kai Omega (AKO) Fraternity began exploring how to become involved in the future development of the park when the City was constructing an athletic building on the site. In 1961, the neighbourhood centre was constructed as the first facility in Windsor designed specifically as a community centre. In 2007, the centre was renamed the Constable John Atkinson Memorial Community Centre, in honour of Constable John Atkinson, Windsor Police Services, who was killed in the line of duty. AKO Park has an outdoor spray pad featuring 22 different water toys, which are computer programmed for a sequence of water fun. The spray pad is open to the public at no charge from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Community Centre is available for birthday parties. For inquires, please call 519-945-2452.

Abraham Cole Park

A tough find and hidden gem, follow along a winding paved trail next to the CN railroad tracks through Abraham Cole Park and you will find a small set of playground equipment with soft woodchip ground cover and a park bench.
