The bridge on Kennedy Road that has often been repaired is getting completely replaced. That means that starting this week and for an estimated 3 months, Kennedy Road will be closed between Mount Albert Road and Doane Road. To and from the south, access will be via either Doane Road or Queensville Sideroad. When coming up Highway 404, it will likely be faster to exit further north at the Queensville Road off ramp. https://www.yorkregion.com/news/kennedy-road-in-east-gwillimbury-closed-for-3-months-for-bridge-replacement/article_79ff2fac-e53e-5918-b516-680362a26c50.html July 19: Construction started.

Environment Canada is predicting sun for the beginning of next week with temperatures of  8-10ºC at the beginning of the week. But that also means we’re getting our yearly muddy road mess. So until the ground thaws and absorbs all that water or things dry up a bit, we have to close Beckett Circle to vehicles in order to prevent road damage. Of course, everyone is welcome to walk around everywhere but rubber bootsRead More →

The road to Beckett Circle is open Things have dried up nicely this week so we have opened the roads. Please drive carefully. There are still soft spots. And the roads may have to be closed again if we get a bunch of rain. Hot Tub It is still running well and still hot with nobody using it. A Hydro One supervisor was here today. They are working on the stray voltage problem but everyone is stumped. We hope to have a Hydro One truck at the park on Monday to check voltages at the pole. In the meantime we all wait…  Feel free toRead More →
