Old Factory Steps
Royal River Park sits on the former site of the old Forest Paper Company. The factory closed down in 1923, and sat abandoned and decaying for decades until the town turned the site into the present day park. While the park developers removed or buried most of the old factory remains, they left various remnants behind as an historic reminder of what once sat in this location. These factory steps are just one of many remnants seen as you walk through the park along the river.
