Lakewood Park South in Tecumseh is officially open, and if you’ve been waiting to see what almost 4 million dollars actually got you, here’s the answer.
There’s a natural amphitheatre for music and small events. A food truck plaza, and word is the food operator is already thinking about Jazz Fridays. Water jets that shoot straight up from the ground, plus misting trees to cool off on a hot day. They turn on with the push of a button, so the kids are going to have a field day with that one.
Free bocce courts. Bring your own set and play. The disc golf course out back is still there too, with walking trails running through the whole park. Oh, and a natural gas fire pit and all-season bathrooms, which means this place actually works past the summer.
The grand opening was this past Sunday with a Party on the Plaza. If you missed it, no big deal. The park’s open now and it’s not going anywhere.
If you’ve been looking for a new summer spot in Windsor-Essex, this is it. Save this for the weekend and send it to whoever you’re dragging along.
Where’s everyone meeting first, the food trucks or the bocce courts?
