[edit] History

In 1891, a tramway between Fassifern and Toronto opened, running through Blackalls Park. This became the Toronto railway line, but was later replaced by a bus service.
The primary school was opened in 1954. The lake surrounding blackalls park (also surrounding neighbouring towns) has been said to have a beautiful view, small creeks also are found near the lake.
