Four area first nations have lost an attempt to have a court ruling over the operation of Pither's Point Park overturned.
The bands, along with the federal and provincial governments, launched an appeal after a court judge in April granted the town of Fort Frances the right to continue operating the park as a municipal park until the issue of ownership was resolved.
In a ruling released Tuesday, Justice Douglas Shaw dismissed the appeal saying there was no evidence the bands or governments would be inconvenienced by the interim injunction.
A town lease on the park expired last May.
