Park's Gazebo To Get New Home

The gazebo at the Jervis-Bay Ross Memorial Park on the East Side will be getting a new home.

The gazebo was originally built by Branch 53 of the Royal Canadian Legion for the public to enjoy, but was prone to graffiti and was difficult to maintain.

Jane Barry with the city's Community Foundation tells CHSJ News the gazebo will be donated to the Loch Lomond School.

The Legion is working to clean up the park to make it more appealing to the community, and will also be taking down a barbed wire fence and filling in a small pond on the property.

Volunteers planted 77 trees at the park this Friday.
