Charlie Wall Park
Charlie Wall Park is a gathering place for our local community and the greater area of the RM of Alexander. The park is a public reserve owned and operated by the RM of Alexander and is situated on the south side of Hillside Beach Road. Volunteers with the Hillside Beach Community Association have worked hard to develop the park to provide recreational opportunities for the residents of our community.
The park is named in honor of Charlie Wall, a long-time resident of Hillside Beach. It is through his tireless contributions that this green space was developed for the enjoyment of our community. Charlie organized and led a group of early volunteers who painstakingly cleared the land, put up the fences, and installed the baseball backstop. Over many years, Charlie took it upon himself to ensure the grass was mowed, and the park was safe for children and families.
In recent years, the HBCA has raised funds to develop the children’s play structures and sand area, the picnic shelter, baseball diamond, soccer facilities and basketball court. Partnerships with the RM of Alexander and Clifton Trainor Construction provide washroom facilities and running water for hand washing for the comfort of park visitors from Victoria Day through to Thanksgiving.
The HBCA continues to work towards the development of Charlie Wall Park for the recreation and enjoyment of all visitors. We are now working to raise funds to install a Shade Sail over the children's play structure and sand pit. This will provide shade from the hot sun to children using the play area and the adults who accompany them. Donations are gratefully accepted for this and other community projects.
On the pillars of the picnic shelter in Charlie Wall Park, there are many plaques acknowledging the generosity of community members, local businesses and “In Remembrance” plaques honoring loved ones. In the spring of each year, new plaques are added to pillars.
