History of Yarlasky Park
Walter Yarlasky of North Bay, and Verna Dobbs of Golden Valley married in 1945. Their first home was at the site of the old Bennets Tire and Battery on Lakeshore Dr, where Walter ran a gas station and machine shop. Relocating to Callander shortly after, they owned and operated the Northland Motel between aprox. 1955 and 1975. Walter and Verna had four children: Betty Ann, Carol, John, and Paul. Around 1980, they realized Callander needed room to grow; Walter, Verna, and the Yarlasky Family donated land which is now Yarlasky Park.
