History
Prior to the late 1800 the lake was surrounded by farms by various land holders: Whitneys' and Mortons', Webster's. In the 1790s 200 acres around the lake was granted to former Queen's York Rangers William Bond.[1] William Bell would sell his portion to developers responsible for Bond Lake Park.
Bond Lake Park was a recreation park from 1899 to 1929 owned by the Metropolitan Street Railway (Toronto) (MSR).[2]
Today the lake and lands are part of a 175 acres Oakridges Corridor Conservation Reserves under the Toronto Region Conservation Authority.[3]
