Etymology

The word Blackstrap is easy to remember if you split it into black and strap: black means 'dark' and strap is like a long 'band' or 'belt'. A helpful way to think of the name is that the lake and park look like a dark 'strap' across the land, and that is why the place is called Blackstrap.
