Splashers rejoice! Splash pad opens for the season tomorrow

Practice physical distancing and don't overcrowd the splash pad, City asks

Kids will have the chance to cool off at the Bellevue Park Splash Pad, as we trudge through a hot and humid week in the Sault.

The City announced today that the Splash Pad is scheduled to open for the season tomorrow, operating daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

While splishing and splashing, Saultites are reminded to practice public health measures, including physical distancing and adhering to social gathering limits.

The City asks that residents limit their time to ensure others have a chance to use the amenity while following physical distancing measures.

“We continue to ensure that proper procedures are in place at all facilities. Staff are focused on making the necessary preparations to welcome the community back to its facilities once we are permitted to do so. As with all areas, these preparations include complying with provincial legislation and with guidance from Algoma Public Health (often requiring APH site inspections),” said Malcolm White, City CAO, in a press release issued this afternoon

Additionally, the City has tentatively scheduled the reopening of the Manzo and Greco outdoor pool in early July. The Bellevue Park concession will open June 17.
