Cumbridge Street Park attention
brings new facility to east end
Residents of the east side of
Goderich have taken. matters
into their own hands and taken
another step towards getting
themselves a park area for
neighborhood children. A
second public. meeting on the
proposed park attracted a
group of about 20 area residents
set on seeing the project
'through, even if it means doing
it themselves.
The park, so far just a fenced -
in area on Cambridge Street
near the public works garage, ,
has been set aside by the town
as a play and green area for the
neighborhood. Parks chairman
Elsa Haydon budgeted $5,000
for the promised fencing ad-
ding that any extra money left
over from the fence would be
used to outfit the area.
The fence took most of the
money however and with little
left to work with the neigh-
°borhood and recreation
director Mike Dymond have
expressed interest in' making
the project a public one.
"I'd like to see that group do
it," said Dymond. "They would
have some input into decisions
regarding what went into the
park rather than have the town
decide for them." '
• The group gathered at the
public meeting did offer some
input regarding what was
wanted in the park: Working
with the rec director they set
out a preliminary material list
hoping to add to it as money
and materials permit.
Priorities on the list are a
wading pond or. spray pad for
children, a picnic shelter, trees,
a sand box or pit, a fountain, a
hill, benches, climbers for
cliildren to play on, a skating
pad for winter and some
creative play structures. One
suggestion for the creative
structure was an old car,
stripped of all dangerous items,
anchored in the ground for the
children to play on and in.
The creative play 'structures
are nothing more than climbing
areas and slides constructed of
unusual material. A slide, for
instance, would not be the'
conventional strip of metal
seen in most parks but would be
a large pipe similar to a
culvert. 'The group felt that
rather than bear the expense of
purchasing ready mace
structures they could gather
used..., tires or culverts and
. construct the, playthings on
donate ,i labor.
"I'm hoping the grL up gets
together and starts
scrounging," said Mike
Dymond., "I think that donated
labor can have a dollar figure
placed for a grant from the
province if the town designates
the park a community project
by bylaw. Any money obtained
can be used for purchasing
materials."
Another priority established
is the naming of the u park.
Children from five to 12 years
of age will be asked to submit,
three names for it under con-
test conditions. The winner will
receive a savings bond valued
at somewhere between $50 and
$100 depending on` what
'sponsoring can be obtained, A
surprise prize for the winner
will also be included. The
contest will be judged by senior
citizens intire area.
A perimeter a quarter mile
radius from the park has been
set as the limits for probable
users of it, and also for
residence , of contest entrants.
The area is bounded by the
