Mulock Park News and Updates
Imagine… a 16-acre green oasis set under a gorgeous tree canopy in the heart of urban Newmarket at the corner of Mulock Drive and Yonge Street. The future park on the former Mulock Property embraces the site’s natural beauty, enhanced with space for active exploration, peaceful retreat, and an opportunity to inspire and be inspired by the arts.
From 2019 to 2021, the Town of Newmarket, engaged over 3,000+ people to share their ideas and visions for the property which has helped develop our five guiding principals, three concept themes and the final design concept. Newmarket looks forward to bringing the community’s vision to life. To create a place where community, life, recreation, culture, heritage and conservation collide in innovative and engaging ways.
Here's a sneak peek of what will be built on this 16-acre park and community space:

📰Newmarkettoday.ca article by Kim Champion published October 21, 2019, reporting on the Harvest Picnic with a photo gallery captured by Greg King
"Hundreds of residents took advantage [on October 20, 2019] of an invitation from the town to take a one-time-only peek at the sprawling property and main floor of the heritage home, all of which is closed to the public during the development process.
The anticipation was palpable as long lines formed for a guided tour of the storied home, where Sir William Mulock, Canada’s first labour minister and postmaster general, entertained the likes of two former prime ministers, Mackenzie King and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and Guglielmo Marconi, an inventor who laid the groundwork for radio technology."

Over the past year, thousands of community members have shared their vision and how they’d like to experience the future of the Mulock Property.
The community’s ideas and technical research by our expert team have helped to shape and inspire three design concepts which PLANT Architect Inc. will reveal to Council and the public.
Between September 29 to October 12 you can explore and provide feedback on the thematic concepts of:
- Energized
- Peaceful
- Expressive
Your feedback will help our consultant team create one refined concept that takes the preferred elements from all three themes to create a consolidated design, and finally, one Master Plan. Help us create a master plan that balances our past history and heritage with our very bright future.
