Little Kin Park History

Little Kin Park has been a central gathering spot for decades in Wardsville. Ageing infrastructure, ageing trees and lack of programming have all led to the park not being used to its full capacity. With a portion of Little Kin Park now designated as a sacred spot to honour the St James Anglican Church and cemetery, Little Kin Park needs to be "reimagined". This takes money and a dedicated group of community members to see our little park become a focal area for Wardsville again.

Let us follow these steps and foster community engagement, we can work towards transforming Little Kin Park into a vibrant and inclusive gathering space that reflects the values and desires of the Wardsville community.

Form a dedicated group of community members.
Assess the park's infrastructure and identify areas for improvement.
Engage the community through meetings and surveys.
