Thomson Memorial Park is a mid size park in Scarborough, Ontario, and is the site of the "Scarborough Historical Museum" and includes historical houses of the founding family of the former city, the Thomson's, from the 1790s; more Thomson houses are found on the northern edge of the park on St. Andrew's Road (number 1 and 142 have designating plaques), as well as the adjacent St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (1818) and Cemetery.

Located near Lawrence Avenue and Brimley Road, the park has, among other facilities, an outdoor baseball diamond and soccer field in the north end and tennis courts to the south.

West Highland Creek, a tributary of the Highland Creek, runs through the park, and is served by bicycle paths.
