Application received for naming the Marydel Park Block

The Township of Brock has received an application from the Beaverton Lions Club to name the future park in the Marydel subdivision.

Park Location: In the Marydel subdivision between McCaskell Street and Foster Hewitt Street. Additional parkland may also be added to this block through a future subdivision, however, no decision have been made on the subdivision application yet.

Address: 38 McCaskell St, Beaverton

Proposed Name: McHattie Park

Rational: The Marydel subdivision and future park were formerly the McHattie family farm. The McHattie family and descendants have resided and contributed to the Beaverton and Thorah Township community since 1841, when James McHattie established a blacksmith shop. McHattie generations would farm, be active members of the community, be involved in the Beaverton Agricultural Society and have 3 sons serve in World War II.

At this point, the Township does not have a detailed park design or what amenities will be included. A plan for the park will be part of a future public consultation process.
