Minor Valley
Akira Pond
Akira Pond is a 2.2 ha valley park in Glenorchy, Ward 7, classed by the Town of Oakville as a minor valley. The Town's facilities layer records no facility inside it.
Facilities
The Town’s open facilities layer places no named facility inside Akira Pond. That is a statement about the layer, not the ground: benches, paths and natural features are not points in it, and a park this size may simply be open space or valley land. The Town’s parks pages describe what is there.
What “Minor Valley” means
Valley land along one of the smaller creeks, held as parkland and classed by the Town as a minor valley.
The class is the label the Town attaches to the park in its open-data parks layer. OakvilleIQ reports the label; it does not read the Town’s parkland policy into it.
How this page is built
Everything above comes from four Town of Oakville open-data layers. The parks layer gives the name, the classification and the outline, from which the area is computed; the ward boundaries and the Official Plan community outlines give the ward and community by the point at the park’s centre; the Town boundary gives the lakeshore reading; and the facilities layer gives every named facility whose point falls inside the outline. The Town also keeps a fuller parks inventory (court counts, playground ages, washroom seasons) that is public but not in its open-data catalogue, so it is not used here.
