Label TextHere, you see crowds of children at Springbank Park around 1916. All of the local children attended and each school had its own section. Londoner Leola Cusack, born in 1902, recalled: “We had…three-legged races and wheel-barrow races. The Merry-Go-Round and the Ferris Wheel were about five cents.”
