WINNIPEG — Ground was broken on Wednesday at the future site of the new Freight House Recreation Centre spray pad.
The fully-accessible spray pad at 200 Isabel Street will be adjacent to the Freight House Outdoor Pool and have three zones for different patrons — toddlers, children, and youth. The spray pad area will also include the installation of benches, picnic tables, pathways and landscaping.
Construction is expected to be complete by early this summer at a cost of just over $1.1 million. Once open, it will be Winnipeg’s 22nd spray pad.
