Armstrong’s Memorial Park recently received a colourful upgrade.

Thanks to a donation from the Armstrong Regional Co-operative, new and bright red and white playground equipment was installed at the park.

The co-op donated $15,000 to the project.

A new plaque was added to the commemorative one erected in 2011 following park upgrades. Community partners who helped upgrade the park in 2021 included Shepherd’s Hardware, Armstrong Land Coalition, Armstrong Regional Coop, Armstrong Kin Club, Armstrong Lions Club, Township of Spallumcheen and the City of Armstrong.
