Milverton All Wheels Park

All Wheel sports has become a popular recreational sport among youth, as well as children and adults. The low cost and unstructured nature of skateboarding appeals to many different types of users. It attracts individuals who want to be active, but don’t participate in traditional sports like soccer, baseball or hockey. As a growing community, the need for diverse and low cost opportunities are becoming more evident. A skate facility can be the hub for community life, it can be a catalyst for healthy community living in which young and old socialize, have fun, develop new skills, make new friends, hang out and much more.

In addition, the pandemic has shown the importance and need of outdoor recreational space in our communities.

Milverton All-Wheels Park Committee is a group, formed by Optimist Club of Mornington members, whose goal is to raise the awareness and the funds required to build a free public all-wheels park in Milverton.

A local parent sent a letter to several community service groups in the fall of 2020 asking for someone to take the lead in trying to get a skatepark built in Milverton. They have 4 boys, the oldest is 10 and they love using skateparks in the surrounding communities and wished there was one closer to home. It was a very compelling letter. The removal of the ice from the Perth East Recreation Complex during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was the catalyst we needed to get started on first steps towards building this new facility.

If an all-wheels park had been available in Milverton it would have been “pandemic-proof” providing a safe, outdoor space for users to enjoy while maintaining physical distance from each other.

Since the motto of Optimist International is “Friend of Youth”, we felt the Optimist Club of Mornington is uniquely positioned to promote and facilitate this goal.

Perth County Open Air Fire Ban Lifted

PERTH COUNTY (August 25, 2025) – Effective at noon today, thanks to the recent rainfall, the open air fire ban will be lifted in the County of Perth, including the City of Stratford. Burn permits can now be issued and must abide by the respective municipality’s open air burn by-law.
With the monitoring of rainfall and vegetation conditions, Fire Chiefs are confident that residents can now safely burn. Please continue to practice safe burning by doing the following:

  •  Call your local fire department to obtain an open air burn permit.
  •  Closely supervise all outdoor fires. Make sure the fire is out before leaving the area.
  • Ensure that your open fire is the correct distance from all structures and other combustible materials.
  •  Never burn plastics, household garbage, construction debris, treated lumber or other laminate wood, tires, ashphalt products, pesticides, paint or aerosol containers, etc. These contain toxins that are harmful to people, animals and the environment when burned.
  • Avoid burning on windy days and be aware of wind direction when deciding to burn.
  • Never use gasoline or other flammable combustible liquids.

Have a source of water or equipment to move dirt/sand to extinguish the fire if necessary.
With weather conditions changing frequently during the summer months, we advise that the burn ban may be put back in place at anytime, if dry conditions return.
Farmers are still encouraged to be very careful with combining, as field fires can quickly overtake equipment, neighbouring crops and can spread quickly into adjacent woodlands. Having a fire extinguisher on board large equipment is highly recommended.
If you discover an uncontrolled/unattended open air fire, it is very important that you report fires immediately to 9-1-1. Do not delay reporting while attempting to control or extinguish the fire.
The Fire Chiefs in these municipalities wish to thank residents and visitors alike for their patience and co-operation during the fire ban.
If you have any questions regarding this order, please contact your local Fire Department.
