Chuck Roy, member of Rotary Club of Windsor-St. Clair, introduced Bill Kell and Dave Cooke who spoke about the Farrow Riverside Miracle Park project. They took us through the life of this incredible initiative - from it being just an idea to now, when it’s actually expected to open this summer! The field will be flat and smooth - accessible for all. There will also be an all-inclusive baseball-themed playground, an existing swimming pool, a wellness exercise path with three exercise stations, a pavilion and a more prominent display of the park’s cenotaph. This park - termed as "the largest accessible playground in Canada", is sure to be a destination for so many.
As a result of the joint fundraising efforts of the 4 Rotary Clubs of the City of Windsor, An Evening with Jim Weese (the event held on February 28th) raised $8,458. A check was presented to Farrow Riverside Miracle Park to help support the completion of the park.
