 Alias Grace Park Map
Alias Grace Park, located between Aladdin Crescent and Ridgestone Drive, is named after renowned Canadian author Margaret Atwood's novel Alias Grace. The intent of the park design is to promote and encourage literature within our community; celebrate the wealth and quality of Canadian literature through interpretation and expression of the novel, and provide historical reference to early settlement in Richmond Hill.
Imagery from the novel is portrayed in the park in the form of pavements, sculptures, plantings, and site furnishings. Site elements such as seating, fencing, light fixtures and entrance features have been designed to provide historical cues to early settlement in Richmond Hill. In addition, plantings in the park reflect historical plantings contained in contemporary arrangements.
It is our hope that this park will inspire the minds of its users and encourage active participation and exploration of Canadian literature.
