Ivey Park — Attraction in Ontario

Great place to visit in the heart of downtown london on the banks of the Thames river. Ivey Park has nice walks around extensive floral gardens and a wide range of mature trees. Located at the famous Forks of the Thames you get river views of all three of the Thames river branches as you follow the riverside path. There are children's playgrounds with swings, slides and climbing frames and picnic tables nestled among the trees. For your comfort and convenience there are also Public Toilets open most of the year but not in winter. An interesting sculpture on the east side of the park commemorates the Tollpuddle Martyrs who were Trades Union activists from England who in the mid 1800's were convicted and deported to Australia for starting one of the first Trade Unions. Eventually pardoned 3 of them took voluntary emigration to Canada where they lived the rest of their lives happily here in London. Just across the road from the sculpture a short walk leads you to downtown London and coffee shops...
