Welcome!
Welcome to anewpark.ca, your source of information for the rejuvenation of the
Wychwood Barns and the surrounding land.
As local residents and interested citizens, we believe the site has enormous potential
for the creation and consolidation of a community.
Be sure to check out the Facts page to read about the
current proposal for the site. Also, be sure to read the
Truth and rumours page so that you can separate fact
from fiction, and make your own, informed opinion.
The process of gathering and compiling all the information is ongoing. Be sure to
get in touch and send us your comments and
have yourself listed as a friend of the park.
Also, be sure to join our mailing list so we can keep you up-to-date on the website,
and on the Wychwood barns park project itself.
