Extreme Park Makeover project to take place at North Central Park

HAMILTON, ON - July 6, 2017 - On July 7 and 8, the City of Hamilton, community members, the adopt-a-park group and local children will work to makeover North Central Park. Volunteers and community members will be on site to revitalize the park which will include art panels and freshly painted murals sponsored by the Rotary Club of Hamilton. Additional seating, improved amenities, pollinator patches, shrub beds, and a new Canada 150 seating area will also be added to the park.

“The makeover of North Central Park is a tremendous opportunity for our residents and volunteers to participate in the beautifying of our community and creating an even more welcoming and appealing park. A special thank you to the staff, volunteers and of course Ryan Ellis for his generous support for making this possible.” - Mayor Fred Eisenberger, City of Hamilton

“The new play structure at North Central Community Park is an important asset for our Keith neighbourhood. This generous donation by the Elly4Kids Foundation under the leadership of Ryan Ellis will have a tremendous, positive, and lasting impact for our community. This play structure will give children countless hours where they can play, explore, and imagine.  I am grateful for this gift which demonstrates a continuing interest in renewal, and investment into the lives of Ward 3 residents.”- Councillor Matthew Green, City of Hamilton

Additionally, through the support of Ryan Ellis of the Nashville Predators, the Elly4Kids Foundation is donating the funds for a new play structure so neighbourhood children can have a fun and safe place to play.

“I’m very proud of this effort by all involved, especially our strong group of committed sponsors. The revitalization of North Central Park is important to the Hamilton community as it will ensure that Hamilton kids enjoy a fun and safe play environment.” - Ryan Ellis, Elly4Kids Foundation

To celebrate the revitalization of North Central Park, there will be an official re-opening “Canadian Tailgate Party” on Sunday, July 9 at 1 pm located at North Central Park, 467 Wentworth Street North which will include a barbecue, games and music.
