The park is 1.6 hectares in size, bounded by Fishermens Way to the northwest, Jane Street to the east, the recent extension of Bass Pro Mills Drive to the south and a future extension to Romina Drive to the west. It is also conveniently located southeast of the Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre and a major transit hub that connects to the mall at Riverock Gate and Fishermens Way.
