DORSET PARK
Dorset Park’s proximity to the 401 and GO Transit make it a desirable location for a commuter who appreciates the peace and quiet of all crescents and cul-de-sac’s.
Dorset Park is named after “Dorset County” in Southern England. This community is located close to a shopping plaza that features stores such as Home Depot, Best Buy, The Brick, Longo’s, Movie Theatre and the Walmart Plaza making errands even easier. With close access to the Milton Leisure Centre and Centre for the Arts (including the Milton Public Library Main Branch) nearby, as well as the Milton Mall; Dorset park is a highly sought after community.
This community boasts a very quaint mature feel with its large lots, ample parkland and a natural canopy of trees framing each cul-de-sac and crescent. Nestled within the large trees and quiet streets are unique streetscapes with parks intertwined – a community within itself. In the middle of this area is the iconic Mac’s Convenience Store located at the corner of Woodward and Wilson. Some homeowners in Dorset Park are even original owners, showing testament to the quality of this neighbourhood. Big lot sizes and room to spare are all appealing things to consider and Dorset Park has them!
There is a secret to the names within Dorset Park. Northwest areas of this community are all old Milton family names like Joyce, McNabb and Bousfield. The northeast areas of Dorset Park are mostly tree named streets such as Birch, Willow and Maple. On the Southwest are famous Milton names and politicians such as Churchill, MacDonald, Trafalgar and Lorne Scott. And last but not least the southeast area are streets all named after explorers and inventors such as Cabot, Hudson, Edison and Graham Bell.
