</p><p>John Rowswell served as Mayor of the City of Sault Ste. Marie from December 2000 until his death on August 31, 2010. He was one of the longest serving mayors in the city's history.
</p><p>John Rowswell Park was designed to reflect the city's natural environment and is an integral part of the John Rowswell Hub Trail. Its features include a demonstration wetland, paving stone walkway and bicycle path. A viewing platform resembling a ship's bow radiates from a mariner's compass, honouring the city's long nautical history.
</p><p>Mayor Rowswell was a passionate supporter of the hub trail system - a 25-kilometre non-motorized trail circling the central portion of the city, linking neighbourhoods and providing economic, environmental, recreational and health benefits to the community.
</p><p>Dedicated to the memory of Mayor John Rowswell
