Natalia asked about 1 month agoHi Natalia - Thanks for reaching out. New trees will be planted! The cedars were removed by the Town and York Region due to their poor health and decline. The Town’s proposal is to remove the remaining stumps and plant spruce trees in a comparable location and arranged to allow for healthy growth and maturity over time, with the goal of restoring the privacy previously provided by the cedars. The selected spruce trees are better suited to the environment and are expected to provide similar benefits moving forward. Thank you for your interest in the park!

Do you require any historical furniture from that era
Dpope asked 6 months agoWe really appreciate the offer. We were fortunate that the Mulock family left some beautiful pieces that were original to the house. So, we are not looking for any additional historical furniture at this time.

#MyMulock Design Concept Visions
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.
