The grand opening of Victoria Park is taking place with the Ice Cream Social on Thursday, July 27.

There will be an official ribbon-cutting along with games, face-painting, kids’ activities, and the official plaque unveiling.

Residents are invited to bring picnic blankets and celebrate under the stars with Canadian music performed by the Milton Concert Band.

Visitors are also invited to take in the many new features of the park, including the restoration of the cenotaph, commemorative pathways, plus playground equipment and swings.

The event is taking place beside Town Hall (150 Mary St.) from 6:30 pm. until 8 :30 p.m.

Admission is free.
