It’s been a long time coming, but Sault Ste. Marie’s first splash pad is set to open in just a few weeks.
Construction began on the $500,000 park late last summer the money raised mostly from local charities such as the Kiwanis club lakeshore and its foundation each raised $42,500 for the project; the rotary club raised $20,000, and Albert Williams charity hockey tournament raised a little over $13,000. The mayor’s youth council also contributed $10,000. The remainder was funded through the city.
Council voted to build the splash pad at Bellevue park instead of locating downtown citing bellevue park already had a lot of the infrastructure in place.
The splash pad committee says the grand opening is set for Saturday June 8.

Investing in two months is not good planning.
Whee! We need fun only 2 months of the year! Gives us something to look forward to!
They have them all over Hamilton ,and its great for the kids on a hot day. Bout time the Soo started giving children activities to do other than drugs and crime. Good job SSM
Jeff Nicolle exactly and they have had them in Hamilton for years
London too! There is one right around the corner from my inlaw’s
They are all over southern Ontario, and have been for decades! The Sault is way behind in providing locals with sufficient entertainment.

They should make everyone wear water shoes also. No matter what or stay off it.
So my question is…how are they gonna stop the geese from pooping all over it!!!!
Dave Abernot the same way they clean up the boardwalk every morning during the summer. They have staff that spray the trail and other areas of the hub trail
Karen Lizzi you see the goose poop all over that park there’s lots!!!
Dave Abernot yes I’m not doubting that. But we are talking about an specific area.
scare guns
should of built a indoor one at least you can use it year round what was these people thinking
let some kids who practice their archery skills and shoot the geese
