==Geography== The town has two parks: [[Riverdale Park (Alliston)|Riverdale Park]] to the north along the Boyne River and [[PPG Park]] to the south, by the local fire department. Major residential areas are located to the north (as [[Previn Court Homes]]) and to the south, with additional residential and commercial developments made since then in the northwest (as "Alliston West"), north and southwest since the mid-1990s, with future developments expected in the future that could raise the population from 17,000 to 20,000. The urban area stretches from west to east, is nearly 5 km, and from north to south ranges from 300 m, 600 m to 3 km. Another residential area, adjacent to the [[Nottawasaga Inn]] are located 5 km east of Alliston- the first phase built is known as [[Green Briar]]; the second phase, to the west of the Inn is known as [[Briar Hill (Alliston)|Briar Hill]]. The Nottawasaga River is situated east of the town; the Boyne River, which runs through Alliston, joins the Nottawasaga, just downstream from Nicolston Dam. The CPR (Toronto - [[Parry Sound, Ontario|Parry Sound]] - [[Greater Sudbury|Sudbury]]) runs right up through the middle of town with a siding for Honda vehicles. Many other business thrive today in Alliston. Honda of Canada Manufacturing has two facilities. The CNR tracks through town were lifted about the mid-1990s and the right-of-way removed. Earl Rowe Provincial Park is located three kilometers west of Alliston, in the amalgamated Township of [[Adjala-Tosorontio]]. It is one of the largest provincial parks in Southern Ontario. ===Climate=== {{Weather box |location = Alliston (1981β2010) |metric first = Y |single line = Y |Jan record high C = 15.5 |Feb record high C = 15.5 |Mar record high C = 24.5 |Apr record high C = 30.5 |May record high C = 34.5 |Jun record high C = 35.5 |Jul record high C = 36.5 |Aug record high C = 37.0 |Sep record high C = 35.0 |Oct record high C = 30.5 |Nov record high C = 22.5 |Dec record high C = 20.0 |year record high C = 37.0 |Jan high C = β2.5 |Feb high C = -0.8 |Mar high C = 4.1 |Apr high C = 11.9 |May high C = 19.1 |Jun high C = 24.4 |Jul high C = 27.0 |Aug high C = 25.9 |Sep high C = 21.5 |Oct high C = 14.1 |Nov high C = 6.7 |Dec high C = 0.5 |year high C = 12.7 |Jan mean C = β6.5 |Feb mean C = β5.2 |Mar mean C = -0.7 |Apr mean C = 6.7 |May mean C = 13.1 |Jun mean C = 18.4 |Jul mean C = 21.0 |Aug mean C = 20.0 |Sep mean C = 15.9 |Oct mean C = 9.2 |Nov mean C = 3.1 |Dec mean C = -2.9 |year mean C = 7.7 |Jan low C = β10.5 |Feb low C = β9.6 |Mar low C = β5.5 |Apr low C = 1.3 |May low C = 7.0 |Jun low C = 12.4 |Jul low C = 15.0 |Aug low C = 14.1 |Sep low C = 10.1 |Oct low C = 4.3 |Nov low C = -0.5 |Dec low C = β6.2 |year low C = 2.7 |Jan record low C = β35.0 |Feb record low C = β34.0 |Mar record low C = β28.5 |Apr record low C = β12.5 |May record low C = β3.0 |Jun record low C = 1.0 |Jul record low C = 4.5 |Aug record low C = 2.5 |Sep record low C = -3.5 |Oct record low C = β6.0 |Nov record low C = β19.0 |Dec record low C = β32.0 |year record low C = -35.0 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 53.9 |Feb precipitation mm = 49.5 |Mar precipitation mm = 53.8 |Apr precipitation mm = 63.6 |May precipitation mm = 78.3 |Jun precipitation mm = 81.0 |Jul precipitation mm = 77.6 |Aug precipitation mm = 82.3 |Sep precipitation mm = 80.1 |Oct precipitation mm = 71.3 |Nov precipitation mm = 81.6 |Dec precipitation mm = 61.3 |year precipitation mm = 834.4 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 18.8 |Feb rain mm = 19.7 |Mar rain mm = 30.4 |Apr rain mm = 59.4 |May rain mm = 78.3 |Jun rain mm = 81.0 |Jul rain mm = 77.6 |Aug rain mm = 82.3 |Sep rain mm = 80.1 |Oct rain mm = 66.8 |Nov rain mm = 62.5 |Dec rain mm = 25.0 |year rain mm = 682.1 |snow colour = green |Jan snow cm = 35.1 |Feb snow cm = 29.7 |Mar snow cm = 23.4 |Apr snow cm = 4.1 |May snow cm = 0.0 |Jun snow cm = 0.0 |Jul snow cm = 0.0 |Aug snow cm = 0.0 |Sep snow cm = 0.0 |Oct snow cm = 4.5 |Nov snow cm = 19.1 |Dec snow cm = 36.3 |year snow cm = 152.3 |unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 16.7 |Feb precipitation days = 11.7 |Mar precipitation days = 12.0 |Apr precipitation days = 12.5 |May precipitation days = 12.3 |Jun precipitation days = 10.8 |Jul precipitation days = 10.9 |Aug precipitation days = 11.5 |Sep precipitation days = 12.0 |Oct precipitation days = 13.7 |Nov precipitation days = 15.0 |Dec precipitation days = 15.5 |year precipitation days = 154.6 |unit rain days = 0.2 mm |Jan rain days = 4.2 |Feb rain days = 3.9 |Mar rain days = 6.5 |Apr rain days = 11.5 |May rain days = 12.3 |Jun rain days = 10.8 |Jul rain days = 10.9 |Aug rain days = 11.5 |Sep rain days = 12.0 |Oct rain days = 13.4 |Nov rain days = 11.3 |Dec rain days = 6.4 |year rain days = 114.5 |unit snow days = 0.2 cm |Jan snow days = 13.6 |Feb snow days = 9.2 |Mar snow days = 6.7 |Apr snow days = 1.8 |May snow days = 0.0 |Jun snow days = 0.0 |Jul snow days = 0.0 |Aug snow days = 0.0 |Sep snow days = 0.0 |Oct snow days = 0.73 |Nov snow days = 5.0 |Dec snow days = 10.4 |year snow days = 47.3 |source 1 = [[Environment Canada]]<ref name= "CCN1">{{cite web | publisher = [[Environment Canada]] | url = http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1981_2010_e.html?stnID=4402&lang=e&province=ON&provSubmit=go&dCode=1 | title = Alliston Nelson, Ontario | work = Canadian Climate Normals 1981β2010 |date = October 31, 2011| access-date = February 17, 2015}}</ref> |date=February 2015 }}
