Coalhurst Spray Park

July 10, 2020                                         COALHURST SPRAY PARK

The Coalhurst Parks and Recreation Society and the Town of Coalhurst are excited to let you know the spray park is becoming a reality! As an added bonus, we are also pleased to announce that Town Council funded the construction of a shelter space to be completed at the same time. The shelter will include three outdoor showers, three washrooms, two change rooms and a covered picnic area complete with power.

You will notice fencing for the site has already gone up and construction began this morning with an expected completion in early August. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we are uncertain of when we will be able to hold a grand opening celebration to open the park to the public but will keep you up to date.

We look forward to many years of our community getting to enjoy the park and would like to thank
the entire community, Town of Coalhurst staff, and Council for supporting this project.
