Parks in Rutland and North Glenmore are getting a makeover.
The projects include upgrades to the Splash Pad at Ben Lee Park and a new community garden in North Glenmore.
Ben Lee Park
Work began earlier this week to upgrade the Splash Pad to include new, locally manufactured, features including:
- A 12-foot-tall Sling Soaker water feature;
- Spray animals (raccoon, owl, and shark) that rotate 360 degrees and have a 10-foot splash radius;
- A Fun Brella water feature;
- A freestanding frog waterfall water feature;
- The project is scheduled for completion in time for the waterpark’s reopening in late May.
North Glenmore Greenspace Community Garden
Construction on an 830-square-metre community garden, featuring 31 garden boxes and an eight-foot-tall wildlife fence, is scheduled to begin in late March.
The garden will be managed by the Hayfield Horizon Community Garden Association and is expected to be open in May.
