Can anyone date this picture?
Charles E. Paget spearheaded a fundraising effort in the spring of 1922 to purchase the property for a new park that opened July 2, 1923, as a memorial to the men who had died in the Great War. In 1923 the council formed a parks commission to look after the park under the chairmanship of Charles E. Paget. In 1924 the parks commission purchased the point at the north of the river with a view to establishing a safe bathing beach and a scenic driveway along the river. In 1925 a road was constructed, a new kitchen was built and campsites were established for motorists. In 1926 a lookout was opened on the mountain. By July 1929 six furnished cabins had been added to the park and the navigation company had erected a new dock.
