Summer's Coming! And when I think of summer in Clarenville, I think about some of the great community events that we hold in Elizabeth Swan Park on Tilley's Road. Elizabeth Swan Park has proven to be a hub for Clarenville town based activities. During the Summer, Canada Day, Clarenville Day and Arts Under the Stars events take place there and during the fall and winter, Bonfire night and Winter Carnival activities take place in the park. I’m sure if you were out to any of these events you enjoyed yourself - each of them bring a greater sense of community to the people who came.
Then there’s the weather.
Rain, sleet, snow, wind and cold have plagued the turnout of too many events and as many of our townspeople age access to the park is becoming more restricted.
Rather than a problem, this presents a wonderful opportunity to make the park space more user friendly by building a larger shelter to replace the small one that has served its purpose. A multipurpose and accessible shelter design like this one in PEI is an example of what I am talking about. It’s modern, airy and can be weather & vandal proofed (openings with glass garage doors) with a stage at one end– and built at a relatively modest cost.
As Clarenville grows we can build on our strengths – and Elizabeth Swan Park is one of them - to make the town even more attractive and build a stronger sense of community.
This is a tangible example of something that we could do to achieve this goal.
