Gunn Park

Gunn Park

On the lakeside of 100 block Crescent Lake Road.

In the 1970s, as the lots on the lakeside of Crescent Lake Road were sold, it became a concern of the council that a certain number of places should provide reasonable and attractive access to the lakeside for the general public. The lots abutting the parcel of land where the War Memorial stood seemed a logical choice. These lots were subsequently zoned for park purposes only.

This park is dedicated to George Gunn, a former Mayor, and Councillor of 20 years. George or Pop Gunn as he was fondly known lived in Saltcoats from 1936 until his death in 1974. The park includes a small flower garden, a picnic table, and benches with a beautiful view of the lake.
