THOROLD, ONT. — The historically significant Battle of Beaverdams Park is receiving funding for renovations through the Investing in Canada Plan.

The project, which will improve accessibility to the park, involves the construction of a new entranceway with new lighting, asphalt walking trails, an accessible playground and washroom amenities as well as upgrading the band shell by adding amphitheatre-style seating and drainage and landscaping improvements, a release indicates. A central plaza will be created to house historical artifacts currently in the park.
