The new splash pad in Redemptorist Park opened a week early due to the high temperatures and humidity forecasted for the next few days.

Marc Darker is the Operations Manager for the Town of Sainte-Anne, he says the scheduled grand opening for the splash pad is next week, but since the splash pad itself is ready to go, they decided to hold a soft opening Tuesday.

“The splash pad is available for use between the hours of 10 am and 8 pm. We are looking at holding the official grand opening on Thursday, July 28.”

Darker says there are a few things to finish up before that date, including installing a fence between the river and the splash pad, touching up the paint in the change rooms, and adding the final touches to the landscaping.

The weather was perfect Tuesday morning for the soft opening of the splash pad at 10 am.
