MOOSE JAW — The Kinsmen Regal Heights Spray Park held its grand opening over the weekend on June 1. This is the newest spray park in Moose Jaw located on the 1300 Block of 13th Ave NW.
This brand-new park was built in partnership between the North West Community Association, the Kinsmen Club, and the City of Moose Jaw. Thanks to sponsors and fundraisers, the new park came at a cost of $304,300.
"This is what community associations accomplish in our city. Although this takes many partners to put together and many, many hours of volunteerism; this is what our community associations accomplish in our city," stated Crystal Froese, city councillor. "I can't congratulate them enough. This is the only ‘Moose’ spray park in our city, which is amazing, with an amazing design and amazing features."
The day held a number of activities with face painting, various food stands, games like a bean bag toss or a ring toss, a wheel of fortune to win prizes, cookies and drinks, and a barbecue compliments of the Gordon Road 7/11.
At 11 a.m., there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by the water spray park opening allowing kids to rush in to enjoy the amazing new amenities.
At the end of 2019, the City of Moose Jaw approved the build, followed by a few years of securing sponsors and holding fundraisers. Brad and Sandra Stewart led the facilitation of the brand-new spray park and were instrumental in planning it and getting the additional funds necessary to complete the park.
"This was a special project of the Northwest Community Association; however, I would personally like to thank the leadership of Sandra and Brad Stewart,” explained Scott Osmachenko, Recreation Services Manager. “They put so many hours into this park; they raised over $50,000 for the process of this park... Thank you very much to them."
All of Moose Jaw’s spray parks will remain open until Sept. 2.
