Fort Augustus Heritage Park

Right now our Heritage Park is made up of mostly flower beds and a walking track. There are also some basket ball courts and a few games on a peice of pavement out front like a hopscotch and a checker board. This park was constructed on the lot of what used to be the Fort Augustus School. It is a beautiful, peaceful place. We however think it would look so much better with some children laughing and playing, as well as some adults talking and excercising. It is truely a space with oodles of potential, and we plan to realize it's potential in October this year. I can hardly wait for build day to begin!
