Bell Park Bell Park was given its name for the bell that was placed in the park. The bell was used to call people to worship and in the event of a fire, as an alarm. Made by the Jones Troy Bell Foundry Company of Troy, NY, it weighed 1577 pounds. The bell was originally ordered, and intended to be hung at the top of the Temple. It was too heavy for its original location; consequently, the decision was made to place it in Bell Park on a wooden platform. In later years, a cement platform was built.This area of Grimsby Park had a bog hole causing the ground to be very damp. To eliminate the wet ground, the spring was damned up and drained into a heart-shaped moat. The drained centre became a beautiful flower garden and grassy area and was accessed by two wooden bridges built over the moat. It was large enough to hold many of the classes offered each summer as part of the programme of activities. Water grew scarce in later years and was drained into the lake. When H.H. Wylie bought the Park in 1910 the moat was filled.
