Mistake in reading Surveyor's map closes park



Gilligan's Island Park was closed indefinitely in Camden County, after it was discovered it was mistakenly built in the wrong location. The mistake was made as a result of interpreting a surveyor's map incorrectly.


A Pavilion, picnic tables and a retaining wall were constructed on a property that is not part of the park. The cost of constructing these improvements was 29,000 dollars not including labor. The popular park is now closed until the matter can be settled with the true owner of the land. The true owner of the land has been unable to market the property as a result of this mistake and is taking legal action to recoup financial losses.
