Description
This scenic capture of Grenadier Pond was taken in October 2016 for an afternoon stroll to High Park before work.
Grenadier Pond is the largest of several ponds in High Park. Development in the surrounding drainage area has reduced its size from 19 ha in historical times to its present size of 14.2 ha.
Grenadier Pond is one of the areas within High Park that has been designated as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources based on a report by Steve Varga in 1989
renadier Pond is primarily fed by storm sewers and run-off from land to the west and east of the pond. To the south, the pond is separated from Lake Ontario by roadways, a railway and Sunnyside Beach. Water flows into a surface outflow at the southwest corner of Grenadier Pond to the Humber River, and then empties into Lake Ontario. Water from a pond to the west of Ellis Avenue (West Pond) also flows into Grenadier Pond approximately 30 m to the north of the outflow.
