Parks & Nature
Topaz park is a great sports field. It has a really beautiful soccer turf and great baseball diamonds. There are a couple of sets of bathrooms on the centre fields and upper fields . There’s a kids playground and one of those self propelled workout areas that we popular a few years back. There is also a lacrosse box that also doubles as road hockey. Topaz park is a very well utilized park by almost every sport. There are also many tournaments and special events held here like the Highland games. A good thing to note is that upper topaz is sometimes referred to as Glasgow Park. Nobody calls it that but it can be on softball schedules as that.
