Commissioners Picture Gallery

Mr Paul Pearn of Rainbow Borders Nursery, Ballaugh, (Tel: 897613) recently presented Onchan District Commissioners with indigenous oak trees which have been planted at Centenary Park, an area once the Hillberry Tip at Cronk-ny-Mona.

The trees have been spaced out to avoid thinning in the long term and in addition about 100 acorns have been scattered over the ground to try and encourage a natural nursery of little oaks for replanting in years to come. The planting is part of an ongoing evolving plan to turn the area into a public place for ramblage and recreation.

The park was named after the centenary of the commissioners in 1894.
