MINDEMOYA—If Central Manitoulin council gives its approval, the old entrance to the A.J. Wagg Memorial Park on Highway 542 in Mindemoya will be closed with the mowed area kept as a green space.
This was the basis for one of two motions and recommendations made by the trail committee for Central Manitoulin at a meeting last week. “The committee passed two motions,” said Marcus Mohr
Mr. Mohr explained the first motion included the closing of the old entrance to the A.J. Wagg Memorial Park, but keeping the grass mowed in the area as a green space, along with keeping the name and sign of the park in place. The second recommendation being made by the committee is to rename the new trailhead entrance at Forest and Thorne Street and the trail themselves at A.J. Wagg Memorial Park to Wagg’s Woods Trail.
“The whole trail path inside the A.J. Wagg Memorial Park everyone already calls Waggs Woods, so this would cut down on the confusion,” said Mr. Mohr. He said that all new trailhead signage would be installed if council approves the motions.
It was noted at a previous meeting that a member of the committee had talked to some of the members of the Wagg family who indicated they were happy with the way the park was being enhanced.
