Fred Raper’s park definitely adds beauty to our downtown. I do believe it was the Lion’s club of Meaford who is responsible for the gazebo and brick walkway. You can see family names etched into some of the bricks. I am not 100% sure but my Grandma McAfee told me that this little girl ran across the road on Sykes near the park and passed away while her family was here on vacation. For years my family have planted flowers and kept this stone cleaned. Anyone walking by this stone feel free to give the flowers a wee drink!
