Spring Creek

 
The Community Service Task Force of the Alliston Rotary Club approached the town's Parks, Recreation and Culture Dept. to see what visions they had for the town.The club was looking for a new 'hands-on project' for the coming year.This property is completely untouched - very old trees, wild flowers, beaver dams and last known location for brown trout in Simcoe County. Rotary has adopted "Spring Creek Park" for a period of five years which requires us to have twice-yearly cleanups. Our developmental plans for this year have included better defining the walking path on the north side with wood chips donated by the town and building stone steps from the upper level of Peace Park to the creek level.

 

 

   Next spring we will build an attractive entrance way in Peace Park welcoming the public to our interpretative nature walk.  Signage will be one of the final stages of our development, both on Albert Street and at the nature sights on the walk. It is hoped that when completed this path will be the site of many school bus trips, family walks and, perhaps in the winter, for cross-country skiing.

 
This past fall Rotary added this attractive stone staircase and entrance walk to the Spring Creek pathway. These steps will make the descent to the pathway much easier and accessible for many more people.
