Walk-the-Bell-Gift

The Kingsmount-Bell Park CAN hosted Walk-the-Bell-Gift on Saturday.  Hike leaders Paul Haynes and Peter Beckett explored the history of Bell Park and its changing landscape over the past 100 years. From the regreening program’s 10-millionth tree to fallback breccia from a 1.85 billion year old meteorite impact, I think W.J. Bell would be pleased. 

Watch for another Kingsmount-Bell Park heritage walk this fall.

Walk the Bell Gift

On February 19, 1926, W. J. Bell formally handed over to the Town of Sudbury the deeds to 110-acres of land that would be designated by council as Bell Park.

We pass by or walk through the park regularly, but its story is seldom told. Join the Kingsmount-Bell Park CAN for Walk the Bell Gift, Saturday, July 30, 10:00 am – noon.  

Sudbury Star, February 20, 1926. The heavy lines designate the area which has been deeded by W J Bell to the town for park purposes.
