Dr. Carson & Marion Murray Community Centre

In 2021, the Dr. Carson & Marion Murray Community Centre completed
a solar panel project featuring a 75 kW rooftop installation. This system
allows the Centre to sell electricity directly to the power utility, generating
revenue while offsetting its overall energy consumption.

Together, the geothermal and solar energy systems significantly reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and cut the facility’s energy costs by
approximately 50%. As a result, the Community Centre has been
recognized by Natural Resources Canada’s Community Building
Incentive Program as an energy-efficient facility.

The Dr. Carson & Marion Murray Community Centre welcomes businesses
and organizations interested in advertising within our facility. With an
estimated audience of more than 1,500 spectators and users each week,
your message will reach a wide range of potential customers from
across Cumberland County and beyond.

Advertising at the Centre is an excellent way to promote your business
while demonstrating your support for the local community.

The Lions Park is located at the corner of Main Street and Lisgar Street in
Springhill, next to the Dr. Carson & Marion Murray Community Centre.
This beautiful green space features an accessible natural playground,
picnic areas, and a variety of recreational amenities including:
• Two baseball fields
• Two tennis courts
• A basketball court
• A soccer field
• Green space and picnic tables
• Parking on-site

Originally named Victoria Park in honour of Queen Victoria, the park once
featured a bandstand at the corner of Main and Lisgar where music was
played every Sunday afternoon. After Hurricane Hazel blew the roof off
in 1952, the Lions Club purchased new playground equipment and began
caring for the park. The space later became known as Lions Park, which
is now owned and maintained by the Municipality of the
County of Cumberland.

The park is also home to the Naz MacDonald Walking Trail, a 1.8 km
outdoor fitness trail that circles Lions Park. Named in honour of Lion
Naz MacDonald, the trail offers a scenic walk surrounded by a variety
of shrubs and flowers. It was constructed by the Town of Springhill in
partnership with Service Canada and Corrections Canada.

The Sharpe and Pokie Memorial Fields are located adjacent to the
Dr. Carson & Marion Murray Community Centre. These well-maintained
fields feature newly constructed score boxes and are equipped to
accommodate both baseball and softball games.

Public washrooms are available on-site, and there is plenty of
free parking for players and spectators.
