Local park opening delayed
After a long, cold winter the summer season has begun at Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) parks.
Nine of the GRCA’s 11 parks opened on May 1 for a season that stretches to mid-October.
At Conestogo Lake, opening will be delayed to May 15 to allow more time for clean-up due to last December’s ice storm.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Grand River park system, which began with the opening of Elora Gorge Park on July 24, 1954.
The system has grown to include 11 parks with more than 2,500 campsites, making it the second largest network of campgrounds in the province.
Only Ontario Parks is bigger.
