TILLSONBURG - The Town of Tillsonburg has put $340,000 towards their parks and playgrounds.

The park, located off Martin Street, is an exciting addition for residents of the Town’s north end, and features a three bay swing set with 2 belts, 2 toddler swings and an intergenerational face-to-face swing. Other features include a large net climbing unit, slide and interactive play area for children up to 12 years old.
