CAMPBELL’S BAY

The splash pad in Campbell’s Bay RA Park is set to be ready for public use within the next two to three weeks.
Blue Heron Landscaping, a locally based company, is finalizing the process of . . .
pouring the two layers of cement needed.
“We’re pouring it in two different coloured cement for the outside ring and inside ring,” explained Mayor Maurice Beauregard.
Speaking on July 22, Beauregard said that if the weather permitted, the contractors would pour the second layer on the morning of July 23.
The recreation area, situated across from Campbell’s Bay RA Hall, has been the beneficiary of three years of municipal funding, according to Beauregard.
The project already had to push back the upgrade last year when winter came quicker than expected, and during the spring when COVID-19 ground many operations to a halt.
Splash pads fall under the permitted facilities that residents can freely access as the province continues its re-opening process.
Beauregard said that there will be a plan laid out, which will likely include regular washing of the pad day and night, as well as sufficient facilities for residents.
“Handwashing stations will be available, we’re working on all that plan right now,” Beauregard said.
He also mentioned the washrooms in the RA hall that are open throughout the day for use.
