Description & Services

Information This park is located on the corner of Main Street and Lisgar Street, next to the Dr. Carson and Marion Murray Community Centre.

The Lions Park was originally named Victoria Park for Queen Victoria. There used to be a bandstand on the corner of Main and Lisgar in Springhill where music was played every Sunday afternoon. Hurricane Hazel blew the roof off in 1952. Shortly after, the Lions purchased playground equipment and began taking care of the grounds. The park later became know as the Lions Park and the Municipality of the County of Cumberland presently owns and maintains the park.
