Innisfil, Ontario's council has officially decided to rename Hastings Park, located at 757 Hastings Avenue in Alcona, to Cedar Harbour Park. This change, approved during a council meeting on May 6, 2023, was prompted by a request from a longtime resident of the Cedar Harbour area. The name Cedar Harbour is significant as it reflects the identity of the neighborhood surrounding the park. The park was established as part of the original subdivision plan for Cedar Harbour in 1921 and has been recognized as Hastings Park since at least 2004. Historical records indicate that the area was referred to as a 'field for sports' in sales material dating back to 1972, although it did not have a specific name at that time. The council's decision is in line with Innisfil's park naming policy, which allows for the renaming of parks to reflect local or historical significance.
