Bobby Orr and the Arena
Rotary Park is an important entrance into the valley system, but it did not always look the same as it does today. Currently, Rotary Park features a lovely gazebo that provides shelter for various musical groups and performers during the summer months. This was not a first for the park; in World War One the 235th Overseas Battalion Brass Band would use this space as well. “The band has a fine place to practice under the shade of several elms, and their music is much appreciated by those who venture to the top of the “stairs” and stay there to listen…”
At the bottom of these stairs and across a wooden bridge was the site of Camp Hoskin home to the brave men mentioned above.
