Ungerman Park
Ungerman Gateway Park, which is also home to Lorne Street Beach, is where you can check out the remains of Camp 20, a German prisoner of war camp in operation from 1940-1946. During its operation barbed wire fences were installed around nearly 1km of waterfront with a barrier all the way to the lake floor 200m from the shore so that prisoners could swim in the lake but not escape. All that’s left now is a fire hydrant, fence, and some pillars, but it used to have residences, a vegetable garden and a swimming area that caused many to describe their experience here as a vacation.
