Beasley Park is a park in the Lower City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Named after Richard Beasley, (1761-1842), was a soldier, political figure, farmer and businessman in Upper Canada. "Richard Beasley" was one of Hamilton's first settlers who came to Canada from New York in 1777. [cite book|title=Dictionary of Hamilton Biography (Vol I, 1791-1875)|first=Thomas Melville |last=Bailey|publisher=W.L. Griffin Ltd|year=1981] "Beasley Park" is bounded by Cannon Street (north), "Mary Street" (west), Wilson Street (south) and Ferguson Avenue (east).]History
"Beasley Park" was originally developed in 1976. Prior to this, "Beasley Park" was the site of some of Hamilton's early industries including the Grand Trunk Railway yards. [cite book|title=Footsteps In Time: Exploring Hamilton's heritage neighbourhoods|first=Bill |last=Manson |publisher=North Shore Publishing Inc|year=2003|id= ISBN 1-896899-22-6] In 1991, the re-development of the park was deemed a priority for revitalization of the Beasley neighbourhood. Improvements included the installation of an accessible creative play structure, a decorative fountain, concrete walkway, a community centre and a skateboarding area. Funding was provided by the Province of Ontario through the programme for Renewal, Improvement, Development, Economic revitalization and Housing Intensification (P.R.I.D.E. H.I.N.T.) and the City of Hamilton. ][cite web| title = In-line Skating and Skateboarding 3 skate park exist the third on is on Barton and Parkdale it is a street no verts, ramps and rails (myhamilton.ca)| url=http://www.myhamilton.ca/myhamilton/CityandGovernment/CityDepartments/PublicWorks/Parks/Amenities/In-Line+Skating+and+Skateboarding.htm| accessdate = 2007-04-10] ]References
