Wollaston Council has announced they will be meeting on August 9th to vote on a motion to sell Nellie Lunn park.

Nellie Lunn Park was a Gift to the public, and for the future.
Upon his death in 1981, the will of Boleslaw Klincewicz directed: “To transfer and convey all my real estate located in the Township of Wollaston, in the County of Hastings, to the Town of Coehill [sic] for the purpose of a Park, and I direct that such Park shall be called the “Nellie Lunn Park”. And thus for the sum of a $2 conveyance fee, Wollaston became the owner and steward of a pristine 100-acre parcel of land honouring the wishes of a decorated World War II veteran and the love of his life, Nellie.
The family was again in contact with Wollaston Township in 2005 to reiterate the request to preserve the land for the purpose intended by Mr. Klincewicz. Following that, in March 2006 Wollaston’s Nellie Lunn Park Committee proposed a bylaw calling for the Park to be held in perpetuity by Wollaston – never for sale -- and that it be preserved in its natural state for public benefit and enjoyment.

: Nellie Lunn Park has the only non-motorized public trail network within Wollaston Township. Until it was closed by the Council in Fall 2020 Nellie Lunn was a much-loved safe destination for walking, hiking, mountain biking and snowshoeing/skiing.
