New spray pad coming to Fort Richmond in 2027

A 5,700-square-foot accessible spray pad will be built at the South Winnipeg Community Centre’s Fort Richmond location and aims to open in 2027, a city news release announced Saturday.

The outdoor facility at 666 Silverstone Ave. will include pathways, seating areas, shade structure, bike racks, and trees.

The site has received $1 million of funding through the Community Stream of the federal government’s Build Communities Strong Fund and $500,000 from the city.
