Source-derived summary

Mic Mac Park is a park in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, in the west end area of the city located on Prince Road. It is perhaps the largest park complex in Windsor, and it contained two water slides, soccer fields, four baseball diamonds, a swimming pool, tennis courts and more. It is mainly popular with children during the summer seasons. Occasionally the park hosts events such as the annual Firefighters Field Day.

History

On July 19, 1930, the park first opened to the public. The water slides were added only a few years ago. The water slides have since been removed due to injuries.

For this dossier, Park, park and Ontario is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “park in Ontario, Canada” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6827812. Authority coordinates are 42.286, -83.072. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1930.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
