The swings and spinner are in place in Lockwood. Installation will take another day or so – waiting for mulch and cement to cure. Can’t wait!
Playground equipment is being installed at Lockwood Park!
Thanks to everyone who supported the Village in last year’s Aviva Insurance voting, we received a $10K grant for accessible playground equipment. It is being installed today in Lockwood Park. No tax dollars were used for any of the additions or changes in Lockwood. A Trillium grant provided funding for the stage, an Aviva grant covered the new playground equipment and the Lockwood Foundation donated $25K and matched funds ($75K) raised by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. Congratulations and thank you to everyone who has contributed … the park has become a very popular place to spend time.
Come by the park later this afternoon and take a swing or a turn on the new equipment.

We are “tail end charlie” for street cleaning this spring
The Village is part of the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville (UCLG) contract for spring street cleaning. Apparently, the wet spring has played havoc with the contractor’s schedule. Once we hear when the street cleaners will be in the Village, I will blog to let you know. I know this is frustrating to everyone, particularly after a winter that required so much sand to be used due to the ice. Hang in there!
