North Grenville needs a splash pad for young families.There is no place in the municipality to bring young children to cool off. The pool is open to the public for only part of the afternoon, is deep, and is in full sun. A splash pad would offer a safe and fun public alternative for families and visitors. it would provide family-friendly entertainment, activity for a healthy lifestyle, and a cool, free alternative to the summer heat. Many other growing communities have chosen to install a splash pad.

Totally agree. A splash pad would be such a big help for all the moms in the area. tired of the same old park.
