Summary

Description
English: The footbridge allowed trolley passengers to safely cross the train tracks into the park; it was a major attraction for youngsters who ascended to view the approaching smoke-billowing trains. The footbridge was torn down by the City of Ottawa in 1954 when Ontario Municipal Recreation Commission officials found that the structure was unsafe due to rusting.[1] Water pumped into the water tank from Lac Deschênes served the park and area cottages (1952).
