Winnipeg, MB – At an event this morning, Councillor Mike Pagtakhan celebrated the beginning of construction on the new North Centennial Recreation and Leisure Facility spray pad.
“This spray pad will expand on the excellent recreation services already offered at the North Centennial Recreation and Leisure Facility,” said Councillor Mike Pagtakhan, City Councillor for Point Douglas and Chair of the Standing Policy Committee on Protection, Community Services and Parks. “I look forward to opening the new spray pad when the weather is warmer and inviting the community to enjoy the new feature!”
Located at 90 Sinclair Street, the new fully-accessible spray pad will have three zones for different patrons – toddlers, children, and youth. The spray pad area will also include the installation of benches, picnic tables, pathways and landscaping.
Construction on the spray pad began in late 2017, with an expected completion date in summer 2018. The City of Winnipeg contributed $613,000 towards the project, along with support from the federal government’s Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program for $425,000, for a total project budget of just over $1 million.
