It was privately owned, but there was a place for them to move to at the time so they got moving expenses.

I lived right across the street from that park, I remember that at one point there were two parks there.

I lost a lot of my best friends when they moved, they were absolutely vicious road hockey players as well, it wasn't unusual for us to have these massive bench clearing brawls just for the hell of it.
