    Don Valley Brick Works encompasses a 16.5-hectare park that includes a wetland, boardwalk, wildflower meadows, gardens, as well as the many reminders of its industrial past. The brick making buildings and kiln chimney have been restored.

    Interestingly, the park is one of those windows into the history of the last million years: it is world famous for its geological history revealed by the sediments of the north quarry wall.

    These vessels are located in the Don River Valley . In the Don Valley there is approximately 700 acres of parkland. which serves as very good recreation area for jogging, biking, picnics and sports activities. These valleys are also refuge for wildlife ; coyotes, foxes , deer, skunks, raccoons, ground hogs , etc,

    No houses are located in the Don Valley and the Humber River Valley . Back on Oct . 15/16,1954 hurricane Hazel made it to Toronto . The rivers overflowed and 81 people drowned . Hence houses are not permitted to be built in these flood plains.

    The vessels in the picture were part of a system that was built to clean the Don River water. Water was to be pumped into the taller vessel which would overflow into the next lower vessel and then back into the river supposedly clean. The system never worked and has now been abandoned. The City has even removed the information signage . There is another group on the east side of teh Don Valley Expressway.

    So in case you are driving down the Don Valley Expressway and see these things you now know what they are/were for.
