Fairy Lake Park on Water Street is an urban oasis in the heart of historic downtown Newmarket.
The lake was made by Newmarket’s earliest settlers, who built a mill in the early 1800s at the foot of Main Street. The 13.4 hectares of parkland, waterways and marshland are also known as Wesley Brooks Conservation Area and include the dam at the Water Street bridge, which is used for flood control.
