Owen Sound replaces playground and upgrades splashpad [Video]

The City of Owen Sound is putting money into the playground and splashpad at Kelso Beach at Nawash Park.

The half a million dollar investment will replace the existing 25 year old playground structure and renew the splashpad – which at 15 years old requires some servicing.

Partnering with the city to make the project possible, the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer has pledged a minimum of $250,000 comprised of five annual donations for $50,000 each. This will match the city’s existing budget of $250,000.

“We value our partnership with the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer. All of their efforts to provide facilities for youth and families make our community a better place to live,” said Mayor Ian Boddy.

The project is scheduled for design in the coming year, and construction in 2026.
