Splash pad idea for Espanola goes to Community Services

Espanola council did not give its immediate approval to the building of a new splash pad in Espanola, but believe the idea has merit.

Local resident Melanie Blais appeared before council last night to present a detailed report about the project, which she says can be totally funded by the community through fundraising.

Resident Melanie Blais says she hopes to build a splash pad around 2,700 square feet at a cost of $220,000 and the ideal location would be at the Espanola Regional Recreation Complex.

She says it would be also be accessible to special needs and be eco-friendly.

Council thanked her for the presentation and recommended the report be brought to Community Services and the Recreation Committee for further research.
