Superior Glove Splash Pad a Hit in Acton

On Monday, July 19th, 2010 I had the pleasure to be at the official opening of the Superior Glove Splash Pad located at Prospect Park in Acton. There were many members of council on hand for the opening. The best part was that there had to be close to 400 parents and mainly young kids there to experience the opening. The Superior Glove Splash Pad was made possible through the generosity of local donors. Long time Acton residents and business people, the Geng, family kindly donated $75,000 towards the project. Also Holcim Canada (formerly Dufferin Aggregates) also donated $20,000 worth of coloured concrete.
Town staff worked closely with water play designer Resicom, Gargoyle Graphics and general contractor Marshall Finamore. The splash pad features a truly unique fish themed water play area with a range of jets and spray area. The feature is a huge fish that will spray your youngster real good.

The splash pad has 33 jets and spray features. The cost of a splash pad is less than an outdoor pool and will be open from 10 am to 8pm everyday and will accommodate hundreds of kids per day and best of all it is free.
This splash pad will be a tremendous feature to Prospect Park as a community hub and destination for all.

Here in Halton Hills, we now have three splash pads, Dominion Gardens, Gellert located in Georgetown and now Superior Glove in Prospect park, Acton. So families, come out and bring your kids to enjoy all three pads in Halton Hills. There is nothing like hearing children laughing, screaming and just having fun while getting soaked on a hot day.
