A mistake at Lions Park made the town of Greater Napanee realize it needs a clearer plan for reviewing camp maps.  

The error involved a map that didn’t match the actual layout of the park, causing confusion for visitors.  

Because of this, officials decided to formalise how they check and approve maps in the future.  

The new process will involve a step‑by‑step review that checks every detail of a map.  

They’ll use updated software to compare the map against real‑world data, so mistakes are caught early.  

If a map fails the test, it will be sent back to the designer for corrections before anyone can use it.  

Town leaders say this change will protect both campers and the park’s natural resources.  

Better maps mean fewer lost visitors, safer trails, and less damage to the environment.  

The plan also encourages local volunteers to help spot errors during their own visits.  

The decision came after a group of hikers reported that the Lions Park trail sign was wrong.  

They followed a map that led them off‑track and nearly caused an accident.  

That incident prompted the town council to act quickly.  

The new guidelines will be rolled out next month.  

All future camp maps must go through the same review process before they are published.  

This move shows Greater Napanee is serious about keeping its parks safe and reliable.
