[lively violin music]
- Allan Bell: William Bradley was the founding father of Tomahawk,
and the park bears his name, Bradley Park.
This was a area that had never been logged off
of huge red pine trees.
Was always used for end of school picnics
for the schoolchildren, for their final day of school.
The water was very cold yet at the end of May,
but there were always a few brave souls
that had to show off.
I wasn't one of 'em.
The winter park, it was full of laughter and kids.
It was just a wonderful place.
But it has always been just a place,
a peaceful place to relax.
The huge trees are like a cathedral to me.
