Road construction at Fanshawe front entrance - impacts on our visitors

Construction of the Veterans Memorial Parkway (VMP) Extension continues at the entrance to Fanshawe CA. Access to the park continues off of Clarke Road, south of the old access road. Follow the detour signs that identify Fanshawe CA and the Watershed Conservation Centre. Please obey the reduced speeds, stop signs, etc. Follow us on social media for updates; paving activities are expected to result in temporary detours.
