The Times Advocate, 2008-01-30, Page 3Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Times–Advocate 3 Groups kick off Victoria Park revitalization EXETER — The Exeter Lioness, along with their partners the Exeter Lions and the South Huron Rec Department are hoping their vision to revital- ize Victoria Park on Huron Street in Exeter will have phase one completed by the end of the year, with several recent donations helping them to get started on their goal. The Lioness are spearheading the project and hope to start work early in the spring with between $80,000 and $100,000 needed for the first phase. If further funds are available, more work will be considered including a splash pad. The new park will be a fully accessible learning experience with a butterfly garden, alphabet lane, touch and feel garden and a metal sculpture donation tree. The Lioness have received a $10,000 donation from Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church as well as $18,961 from Ronald McDonald House Charities. The Lioness will also help with the Trivitt Thanksgiving celelebration this year and will receive the proceeds. A copy of the proposed playground drawing is hanging at the Rec Centre office for anyone to see.
