Keterson Park & Tim Hortons Pavilion

The previous Keterson Park Pavilion was a project proposed by the Mitchell Kinsmen in 1993, and approved for construction in the amount of $30,000.00. The building was erected in 1994 and used material salvaged from the previous pavilion, and was largely built by volunteers and the Kinsmen themselves. This pavilion served the community well, but sadly was showing it's age, and no longer met current Health and Safety Standards. 

The Municipality of West Perth was awarded a grant from Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) to support improvements to Keterson Park in Mitchell. The Municipality was made aware of the approval for the grant from ICIP on July 7, 2021. View the full media release on the grant approval here. View the Government of Ontario's News Release here.

The project involves the construction of a new multi-use pavilion and an accessible path for Keterson Park in Mitchell.  These improvements were identified through the Keterson Park Master Plan which was prepared with input from user groups and adopted by West Perth Council in June of 2019.  The full Keterson Park Master Plan can be accessed here.

A new multi-use pavilion will replace the existing pavilion and barns. The design is a 130ft by 66ft pavilion with a covered viewing area and sight lines to the playground as well as all four existing ball diamonds. The new pavilion will include a kitchen and bar area, washroom facilities, basketball nets, and storage space, removable walls and a wash pad and drainage capabilities for use during the annual fall fair and other events. The new pavilion will be used for a variety of drop-in recreational activities, tournaments and miscellaneous special events.
