Rothsay playground closed after accident
Officials here are hoping to re-open a closed park in Rothsay after they were forced to shut it down after an accident.
Councillors heard of the incident at their Sept. 13 meeting.
Public works director Larry Lynch said after the meeting a child was hurt when a swing broke. He told council the township was unable to make an immediate repair so the park was closed and padlocked.
“When we got a formal complaint, we had to take action,” Lynch said, adding he is trying to fast track the repairs so the community has use of the park. Lynch said township staff fenced off the largest part of the park, and he is aware it is well used, and there are a number of children who live close to it.
