In 1973, the province, the city and Central Mortgage and Housing got together to buy the former Midland Railway property at the corner of Isabel Street and Ross Avenue in order to convert it into the Freight House Community Centre and Kin Recreational Park. By 1975, Kin Park had a full time recreation co-coordinator. This park, along with Freight House has become one of the primary recreational facilities in west-central Winnipeg.
