The RM of Pipestone will soon be home to the only outdoor spray park in the province with an elevation structure which includes a slide.
The RM of Pipestone Council formed a committee in the fall of 2016 to fundraise and develop a spray park for the area. The committee, along with Council have determined that the best fit for the area is to construct a park like no other in the region. Not only will this unique design suit the needs of our residents but is also set to appeal to the region as a tourist destination.
The committee is initiating a sponsorship campaign this month, with hopes to raise the funds needed by September 15, 2017. Corporate sponsorship will be requested in the near future with the opportunity to support individual items in the park. We will also have a neighbourhood campaign where individual persons, family and groups can purchase square feet of concrete that will be the foundation of the spray park.
The committee will also be hosting various fundraising events throughout the coming months. These include, Paint Nites, Cash Calendar (fall), 5K run (June), Goofy Golf Tournament (September), 50/50 Raffle, Canada 150/Reston 125 supper and more. 50/50 tickets have started to sell and the pot is already over $1200.00. The draw will be made on July 22, during the Canada 150/Reston 125 celebrations.
