As warmly as the turn of weather is welcomed here in southeast Manitoba, so are the splash pads. Niverville’s splash pad, which opened for the first time last July, is scheduled to begin operations on June 1. The pad is located in Hespeler Park, between Baseball Diamond 4 and Soccer Pitch A. Its hours run from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. daily.
The Manitoba Youth Job Centre will staff the adjacent canteen throughout the summer, with workers from the Odd Job Squad selling freezies and possibly doing face-painting. The canteen will also be available on a rental basis, with the Niverville Youth Baseball Club already claiming it for a tournament in the park on Saturday, June 3.
There are many other splash pads throughout the region. The Blumenort Splash Pad has been operational since May long weekend and also stays open from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. The Blumenort pad is widely known for its large bucket that dumps gallons of water. You can hear the laughs and screams of joy for blocks in every direction. This pad is located at Blumenort Park on Park Road, right near the school, and is in the midst of its third summer.
The Lorette Spray Park is open from 9:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m., and is located behind the community’s arena on the east side of town. The pad showcases colourful water features, including water cannons, hoops, and a sky umbrella.
Other regional splash pads include one at the St. Norbert Community Centre and two in Steinbach.
