    Something else on your mind? Call or text Mackenzie and Dan at 519-670-3027.

    Is Pinafore Park a good place to live?

    If you want a huge park close by and a short drive to everything, yes. The streets around it are mature and quiet, with older homes, and the hospital and downtown are about 5 minutes away by car. If you want new construction, look south toward Lake Margaret instead.

    Where is Pinafore Park in St. Thomas, Ontario?

    The park is at 95 Elm Street, roughly 2.5 km south of downtown. Its homes fill the streets between the core and the newer Lake Margaret area to the south.

    How much does a house in Pinafore Park cost?

    We couldn't find prices just for this area. Across St. Thomas, the June 2026 median list price sat near $582,400. Homes that face the park may sell for more, so ask us for recent sales on the street you like.

    What schools serve Pinafore Park?

    Two boards cover the city: the Thames Valley District School Board (public) and the London District Catholic School Board. French immersion is available in St. Thomas, and Fanshawe's local campus is roughly 2 km from the park. Catchments follow the exact address, so always confirm with the board.

    What is the postal code for Pinafore Park?

    Our research didn't list a single postal code for the area, and codes change street by street. Check the exact address with Canada Post, or ask us.

    How big is Pinafore Park?

    Roughly 111 acres. Inside you'll find woods and trails, a pond, gardens, a splashpad, courts and a historic ballpark.

    Why is it called Pinafore Park?

    The street railway company that built up the grounds in the 1890s is said to have named it after HMS Pinafore, the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera that was a hit at the time.

    What is Emslie Field?

    It's the park's ballpark. Its diamond dates to 1898, which makes it one of Canada's oldest. In the 1950s it was named for Bob Emslie, a St. Thomas umpire who spent 33 seasons in the major leagues.

    Can you rent a pavilion at Pinafore Park?

    Yes. Six pavilions with water and hydro can be booked through the City for family reunions, birthday parties and wedding receptions.
