June 17, 2026, Lansdowne, ON - The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands invites the community to celebrate the official grand re-opening of Jerry Park and its newly upgraded accessible and inclusive playground on Friday, June 26, 2026.

The community is encouraged to join Council, staff, project partners and special guests for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the park improvements and the opening of a play space designed to be welcoming and accessible for children and their families. 

The revitalized park features new inclusive playground equipment that promotes play, exploration, and social interaction while providing enhanced accessibility for users with varying abilities.  These improvements reflect the municipality’s commitment to creating public spaces that everyone can enjoy.

The grand re-opening ceremony will include brief remarks from municipal representatives and the official ribbon-cutting.  Following the ceremony, families are invited to explore and enjoy the new playground equipment, park amenities, and special games and activities led by recreation program staff.

SEELEY’S BAY – The Ontario government’s Rural Economic Development through Immigration (REDI) pilot program helped local physician recruitment efforts to fill a vacancy at the Seeley’s Bay Medical Centre.

Jerry Park's splash pad and play structures are ready for some action. We know you've been waiting to get back to the park, so come check it out this weekend.

We still need to be mindful of some areas that need a little bit more attention and time. While enjoying the space, stay on the paths and play structures (the sod and grass seed need to set and grow).

We plan to have an official Grand Re-Opening soon.
