Elm Street Park Gets OK To Re-Open

St. Stephen Town Council giving the OK to re-open the Elm Street Park.


President of the Elm Street Park Society, Wilf Torunski tells Tide News he's not sure when the official ribbon cutting will be. He says that is something he would like to address to the new St. Stephen Town Council, as well as get them involved.
The local park came under major damage in recent years, mostly due to the Flooding of 2010.

Torunski says 7500 members of the Society have been cleaning up the south side of the park for re-opening, excluding the dangerous areas north of Billy Weston Brook, where barriers are in place.
