After nine years, Henderson Memorial Park is finally opening in Bradford West Gwillimbury.
The park at 3171 Line 9 is officially open to the public today, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with BWG council and staff May 23 at 5:30 p.m.
The 39-hectare property, which is at the southwest corner of Sideroad 10 and Line 9, includes play structures and a rolling landscape with natural features, such as a creek system and a small woodlot.
The property was donated to the town in 2009 by Mrs. Phyllis Henderson for family-friendly recreation.
The process of transforming the land into a park began with a vision workshop in 2013. The official groundbreaking was in June 2016.
