At that time, the tourist industry in Leeds County was expanding tremendously. In 1957, it was estimated that there were 15 cottages on Lower Beverley Lake while in 1967, there were 280. Although Delta has long been recognized as an area of economic stability, it had not grown with the tourist industry and conversely its population has been declining. Like many small communities, Delta had suffered from the expansion of neighbouring urban centres such as Kingston, Brockville, Smiths Falls and Perth. In order to revitalize the community of Delta and its environs, it was felt that the stimulus could come from the tourism industry and the impetus through a locally developed park.<br \/><br \/>The first phase was the dredging of the Mill Creek and the purchase on an 85-acre parcel of land from Mr. Warren Henderson in 1967. A.R.D.A funded 75% of this phase while the remaining 25% was paid through a Centennial Grant. The dredged material from the Mill Creek was used as land fill and levelling material. The second phase in 1967 was the purchase of the Beverley Lake Camp from Mr. William Burega. This phase was funded 75% by A.R.D.A., 12.5% by Energy and Resources Ontario and 12.5% by the Township of Bastard and South Burgess.<br \/><br \/>The Council of the day appointed a Park Management Board in 1967. The Board, which was comprised of Chairman Gerald Cross, Secretary R.B. Butcher, and Directors Eldon Coon, Raymond Gamble, David Halladay, Rupert Halladay, Muriel Jones and Betty Ostrom, held their inaugural meeting on September 15th, 1967. All subsequent meetings were held on the 3rd Friday of each month starting at 8:00 p.m. in the Clerk\u2019s Office.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cffed72 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cffed72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1968<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40d8064 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40d8064\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The park was designated as an \u201cApproved Park\u201d by the Ontario Parks\u00a0 Integration Board on January 18th,1968 and by Order-In-Council number 615-68 dated February 15th, 1968, the Treasury Board approved a grant\u00a0 towards limited development work. The grant was to cover 50% of the total cost of converting a public camp and developing an Approved Park, up to a maximum of $100,000.<\/p><p>In March1968, the Council of the day contracted Canadian Mitchell Associates Ltd., Consulting Engineers and Town Planning to make a study and prepare a development plan for the park. The plan was presented to Council in June of 1968. The development plan included dividing the area into Park Use Zones, to provide facilities for administration, camping, beaches, games, picnicking, nature exploration, roadways, fencing, re-forestation, special day camps and a marina. Rates would include $2.00 per night without electricity and $2.50 per night with electricity.<\/p><p>The park was officially opened on August 5th, 1968 by Mr. Fred Lawson. Invited guests included M.P. Desmond Code, M.L.A. James Auld, John Matheson Q.C., Reeve Gerald Cross, Herb Crown, and Harry Christian. A chicken barbeque was prepared for 350 guests following the ceremony at a cost of $1.75 per plate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91a9b62 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91a9b62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1969<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-184f934 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"184f934\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 1969, a main service road was constructed along with a service building which included showers, toilets, vanities and storage.
