Brooklin was locatedRead more
primarily in a rural area about two decades ago, but it is urbanising, with high population growth and infrastructure development. Brooklin is surrounded by hills covering the north and the west. The hills and the forests that dominate the north are part of the South Slope of the Oak Ridges Moraine. It is located within the Lynde Creek Watershed which retains 19 to 26% of its forest cover. The population has grown rapidly since the early 1990s with the addition of thousands of homes, predominantly in the subdivisions that surround Brooklin.
