View of Laroche Park, June 24, 1927. Stonehurst Avenue is along the left, with Scott Street & CPR tracks running along the bottom. The septic system in the center (roughly 300x100 feet in size) and the new playground and baseball diamond is in the cleared area near the top. The patchy land along the east side of Stonehurst likely is evidence of the dump, which had existed there up until just two years prior.
