Professors Lake Brampton

Tuesday, Feb. 9/10
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

“If you have to see, then see the specialities of each other. If you have to leave something, leave weaknesses.”

Professors Lake Brampton:

Originally a sand and gravel pit, Professors Lake was produced by extracting sand and gravel below the water table. This 100 acre Brampton sand and gravel pit was first opened in 1918, later closed for a time and reopened again in 1954. The operation ceased in 1973. In its lifetime, this operation supplied an estimated 20 million tonnes of sand and gravel to the Toronto area.

Today the main feature of the Professor's Lake complex is a 65 acre spring fed lake. It is used extensively for sailing, windsurfing, fishing and non-motorized boats. Other recreational pursuits include the beach, waterslide, volleyball, tennis, playgrounds, a lakeside pathway for walking, bicycling or inline-skating, and ice-skating in the winter. The lake is surrounded by a proud residential community with the City of Brampton Professor's Lake Recreation Centre located on the south shore. The Recreation Centre, built in 1982, includes a boathouse, beach, picnic area, food concessions, and meeting rooms.
