This week’s photo shows the former lawn bowling green at the corner of Johnson and Regent streets in the Old Town district of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Today, the Voices of Freedom Park is located here, honouring our local Black History. The photograph shows four gentlemen playing while eight other players and a referee watch. Visible in the background is the brick water tower that once stood on King Street, near where Aura on the Lake is today. This tower was damaged after Hurricane Hazel hit in the fall of 1954 and was replaced with a metal water tower. The lawn bowling club began in 1877 and moved from this location to its new home at the Community Centre in 2011. Residents can learn more about the sport at their upcoming open house on June 11 from 2 to 4 p.m.
