The Thamesford Lions are thrilled with the results of their collaboration with the
Upper Thames River Conservation Authority and
Township of Zorra, regarding the Lions River Park upgrade in Thamesford. The park has a walking trail, Harvey Beaty Memorial garden, benches, access to the water and now features viewing platforms that will help act as a naturalized buffer zone along the river's banks. This buffer zone will protect the banks from erosion and sedimentation that occurs due to foot traffic in the watercourse. We're excited to plant native trees, shrubs, and pollinator plants in the upcoming spring season! We look forward to more projects like this!

Parks and Environment
An ongoing project of the Thamesford Lions Club is the enhancement of the parks within the village. Thamesford is blessed with four large parks and one small park giving us a high ratio parks to people.
