Abe G. Penner Park in Blumenort will soon have a new play structure.

The new playground will replace an older one which was deemed unsafe and dismantled last year.

“It means a lot,” says Jason Peters, Manager of Recreation and Community Service in the RM of Hanover. “The reaction from the community was pretty overwhelming that they wanted something to replace it.”

could be completed within the next couple of days with the finishing getting done over the course of approximately two weeks.

“There’s a lot of community support for the structure, lots of excitement around it,” offers Peters, “so I think it’s going to be a great addition to the park.”
