Flemming Court Splash Pad Opens

Plenty of splashing and shrieking going on at the new Flemming Court Splash Pad in the Crescent Valley neighbourhood. 

Chairperson Ann Barrett says the splash pad has become a gathering place for the community, and people of all ages have been enjoying it.

Barrett says planning for the splash pad began in 2007, but the project was put on hold in 2009 when a sewer pipe was discovered and they had to find a new location.

She says the plan originally included benches and a play structure as well, but because the splash pad went up in price over time, fund raising for the rest of the park will begin now that the splash pad is in place.
