Parc Carillon in St Pierre continues to get upgrades this summer with cornhole equipment, park benches and extra trees being added.

Workers were busy installing the eight new, 1,500-pound benches from Nelson Granite and cornhole holes last week as families made good use of the park’s splash pad near the new ball diamond on a hot summer’s day.

The village plans on selling plaques that can be put on the benches to help pay for the improvements.

“It’s really good for the seniors, too, because a lot of the seniors probably relish the fact they can put their names on a bench,” said deputy mayor Coun. Michel Forest during the last council meeting.

He told council it is estimated to cost $700-1,000 to rent a tree spade and move trees from the lagoon area to the park this summer. Forest said there is a plan to put two layers of mature trees on the outside of the park trail, and on the outside of the ball diamond fence.

Parc Carillon has been steadily improved each year as part of a master plan available on the Village’s website.
