Rouge Park is a park located in the Rouge River watershed, along the border of Toronto and Pickering, Ontario, Canada. An effort has been made to nationalize it; if successful, the park will be Canada's first national park within a municipality. The lands now in the park were once home to resorts and cottages from the late 19th century to the 1950s.

Famous quotes containing the words rouge and/or park:
“With the old kindness, the old distinguished grace,
She lies, her lovely piteous head amid dull red hair
Propped upon pillows, rouge on the pallor of her face.
She would not have us sad because she is lying there,
And when she meets our gaze her eyes are laughter-lit,
Her speech a wicked tale that we may vie with her....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public igominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
