Families in Niverville, Manitoba, can look forward to the return of seasonal water play at Hespeler Park, as Niverville Recreation & Wellness prepares to open the community splash pad in early June. Crews are currently working on site to complete de-winterization, test all water features, and confirm the water quality to ensure the facility is safe for public use.
Once these safety requirements are met, the town will issue a notice confirming the official opening date for the season. When the splash pad is in operation, it typically welcomes visitors from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. daily.
Located within the 91-acre Hespeler Park, the 3,500-square-foot facility offers two designated play areas. A toddler section is available for children up to age three, while the family area serves children ages three to 12. The park features a variety of water attractions, including in-ground jets, sprayers, a blue whale structure, water cannons, a sky-brella, and colourful hoops.
The splash pad first opened to the community on July 12, 2016. While the Town of Niverville fully funded the construction of the splash pad itself, the adjacent washroom, change room, and canteen building were supported by a $56,405 grant from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.
