Where is Rotary Park? I've lived here for more than 25 years, and this is the first time that I've heard of it.
Vernon Rotary Centennial Park
Vernon Rotary dedicated a new park June 28th, called the Vernon Rotary Centennial Park, in celebration of the Centenary of Rotary.

Mayor Wayne Lippert was there representing the city, and Past Club President Carol Schroeder (who envisioned the concept) cut the ribbon.
It is located in a very high profile location at 43rd Ave and 32nd Street, across from Safeway and Prospera Credit Union.
