From Richview Side Road on the south and the Dixon Road on the north including Golfâ€" wood Heights,. Humber Heights, Westmount and Fairhaven villâ€" age there is a dire need for recreation _ centres for _ the younger people, other than the Weston Arena. Recent heavy increases in population and greatly increasâ€" ed traffic hazards have forced upon the people the need for some place where their children may play safely. Ideal areas for park lands could be located in the undeveloped land surroundâ€" ing Silver Creek which flows from Kipling Ave. to the Humâ€" ber River. Very suitable areag lie especâ€" ially between Islington Ave. apd Scarlett Road. There are natural forest stands and flat meadow lands which are subâ€" ject to seasonal spring floods that will not damage parkland but would be hazardous for building purposes.
