Spencerville Riverside Park: Big plans for a small space
206 years make a big difference in a place. Wilderness and an untamed river greeted United Empire Loyalist Peleg Spencer,one of the first visitors to this place. What happened between then and now?
Our project is to create an inviting park spaceat the entrance to the village of Spencerville for both locals and visitors to relax, enjoy the natural beauty of the South Nation River and appreciate how a village came into existence. The park is a place of historical importance due to its setting beside the South Nation River and the Spencerville Mill & Museum, the last remaining grist mill on the river. The original saw mill on this site was the genesis of the community.
The project plan includes enhancing the park with gardens, benches, picnic tables, wheel chair accessible pathways, bike racks, recycling bins, a pergola for sun shelter, historical panels, an information kiosk and map of village businesses and points of interest.
Our project will be a welcoming center for our village. It will improve the vitality of the site, increase visitation to the village and the historic Mill, and engage people of all ages.
