What is Nineteen on the Park? Nineteen on the Park! is the concept name for the development and restoration of the historic landmark building, 19 Civic Avenue, in Whitchurch-Stouffville’s downtown core. 19 Civic Avenue is one of the oldest and most culturally significant buildings in the community of Stouffville’s downtown core.
