Take a walk through the natural landscapes of Jackson Park and explore the history behind this wonderful Peterborough resource.

Come and explore the fascinating history of this wonderful Peterborough resource with local historian Karen Carter-Edwards! The location began as an industrial site before it became a public park in the 1890s. Later the site of an amusement park and then a camp for needy children, the city took over ownership of the park in the 1960s. Discover where the gambler’s den was located, Devil’s Gap, the famous beach, and more.
