HE NN NH Plans for public use of Prince Albert school playground Plans are moving ahead to turn the playground at Prince Albert School into a park for use by the entire community. Township council's parks committee has been working with a group of Prince Albert parents on the plans for the park, and the committee is now in the process of negotiating a "community use" agreement with the Durham Board of Edu- cation. Councillor Marilyn Pearce, a member of the Township's parks committee, said last week, the school playground has "great potential" for devel- opment into a community park. And for the time being at least, it is the only park- playground in Prince Albert. New residential develop- ment planned for the hamlet is not slated to get on stream for two or three years, and since there is no public park in Prince Albert, making use of the school property is the best alternative. But there's still much work to be done, said councillor Pearce. The Parent committee i isin the process of initiating some fund-raising venture to pur- chase new playground equip- ment. } The equipment there now is out-of-date, and in some in- stances un-safe, according to councillor Pearce. Once the plans for the park are in place, Scugog Township will be able to apply for provin- cial and Wintario grants to pur- chase more new equipment. Under community use agreements with the School Board, Prince Albert School would retain use of the park during school hours. On week- ends and evenings, and during the summer, it would be for public use. The initial plans call for some $10,000 to be spent on re- developing the park, adding new equipment, and perhaps another $10,000 atalater date. One unique aspect of the park plans call for "complete wheel-chair access." And councillor Pearce said itis hoped that the baseball dia- mond at the park can be re- developed with proper base paths and diamond surface ma- terials. With the plans for the park moving ahead, councillor Pearce said there's a good chance that some of the new equipment could start going into the park as early as this summer. And once residential devel- opment starts to take place nearby, the long range plan calls for expanding the park onto adjacent lands. For the citizens of Prince Albert, many of whom have long complained about the lack of public park facilities in their community, the initiatives are welcome indeed. Tour English landmarks (From page 12) The great cathedrals have endured much down through the centuries including war and for one period in the 1600's sheer neglect through lack of in- terest on the part of the popu- lace. Sadly enough, many are now suffering the ravages of a modern man-made scourge. Acid rain from sulfur dioxides in the atmosphere is eating away at the stone-work, espe- cially the famous Cantebury Cathedral. "More damage has been done in the last 26 years (from acid rain) than the previous 500 years," said Mr. Arculus. .It is sadly ironic that the magnificent St. Paul's in Lon- mospheric pollution.
