Bruxer said a meeting was called to gauge the community's interest in building a local park. "It was so well attended that it was obvious that there was interest," he said. The first project was a backstop so kids could play baseball. Bruxer said the original backstop was built using old telephone poles on St. Patrick church's property across from where the current park lies. The new association began to organize house leagues and provided a trophy for the winners of the annual end of summer playoff tournament. With the popularity of the association's work growing, Bruxer said it was decided that they should purchase some land to develop a full park. Three locations were identified but all three fell through. Then in September of 1969 the association made an offer -of $4,000 for the land where the park currently sits. Money was raised with a waikathon, which featured 145 sponsored walkers. "The whole community responded," Bruxer said. "It was very successful." The waikathon succeeded in raising enough money for the land with a small balance left over. That wasn't the end of the hard work though. according to Bruxer. "The land was nothing better than sheep grazing land," he said. "It was rough." Eventually though the park began to take shape and ball diamond were build, along with a small service building, fences and new backstop. Later on a. second ball diamond was added, along with lights. "Even then it was barely adequate," Bruxer said. "They were busy every night." With the park still a popular community gathering -place to this day, Bruxer said the original members of the association remain proud of their accomplishments. "There is a park where once there was nothing," he said. "We had a lot of fun." `Everlasting Hope' is theme at Hensall United Church service The Hensall shuffleboard scores for April 6 are as follows: Dave Woodward 560, Merle McLellan 468.
