Additional comments and full quotes
Randall Kerluke, Nipawin and District Regional Park board member
"We had a spray park that was kind of an old converted paddle pool. Some of the existing board members from years ago had created a spray park just from some copper tubing and stuff like that.
Well (it) basically doesn’t meet the needs of what the park is today and from safety features and stuff like that, our board decided we needed to look at another water feature."
"The Nipawin area — we believe we’re growing. we have a number of things that are happening up in this area and I think it’s always important to see some different capital projects and for myself or some of the board members, we believe we’ve got to continue to move forward and build some of those different types of things and enhance not only the park, but the community because it’s going to keep people coming to the area and it’s something else for younger families to do in the area."
"There’s different people that go out there for a simple hot dog or wiener roast and that sort of thing so you’ve got a lot of different ranges of users and something like this gives them another attraction for sure and something that the parents, I guess what we wanted to do was have something where the parents could feel safe, drop their kids off and even partake in the enjoyment of a spray park.
So it’s something that seems to be attracting almost all user groups."

Tracey Mann, Community Initiatives Fund Executive Director
"We support communities completely throughout the province so it’s really to support efforts that are already happening, to support volunteer-led initiatives and oftentimes, particularly with things like the small capital projects, generally there aren’t funds easily available to support those kinds of programs and so I think by being able to support communities in that way it brings a lot of value.”
