context_page_description: Burke Brook is a small stream in Toronto, Ontario. It is part of the Don River watershield, a major river that feeds into Lake Ontario. The north end of the river ends around Glenview Senior Public School.
context_section_description: This park is between Blythwood Ravine Park and Yonge Street. It contains the tennis courts of the Lawrence Park Tennis Club and the fields of the Lawrence Park Lawn Bowling and Croquet Club. The main attraction of the park is the song The Maple Leaf Forever, an unofficial anthem of Canada, printed on a stone wall with stairs connected to the fields and gardens of the park. The park was originally located on the west side of Yonge Street across from the Mount Pleasant Cemetery to celebrate the Toronto centennial celebrations. To build the Yonge Subway the TTC paid over $100,000 to move the park, including the stone wall, to its current location in Lawrence Park.
