Splash Pad Information

[1] Any recent updates?

• The city of Calgary owns Prestwick Commons, including the splash pad. We recently had the City of Calgary reach out to request that the McKenzie Towne Council (MTC), operate and maintain the Splash Park as it does not have the operating budget. The MTC and the City entered into a 25-year License of Occupation agreement covering Prestwick Common, including the Splash Park.

​

[2] Will the washrooms be open?

• They are already open from 7AM - 3PM. Unfortunately, with the increase of recent vandalism on site, we will only be able to keep the washrooms open to the public within staff hours, to ensure that they are maintained and to prevent vandalism.

 

[3] Will the fountain be on?

• The fountain will not be operating at this time, in accordance with the City's request to conserve water. Additionally, the fountain's concrete pad is at the end of its life and it requires significant repairs.

 

[4] What about ice-skating?

• Until the fountain's concrete pad is repaired and/or replaced, it is not recommended to have ice made in this area. Additionally, the unstable weather in recent years has not been conducive to ice making.

 

[5] What about the recent up-tick in graffiti?

• See something? Say something! If you are witnessing active vandalism - please call 911.

• If you are reporting existing vandalism in any of our McKenzie Towne parks - please report it on our "See Something, Say Something" page - www.mtcouncil.com/servicerequest
   

[6] What hours will the splash pad run?

• The splash pad is set to run from 7AM - 7PM, starting June 12th at 12:00 PM.

 

[7] Will there be a kiosk?

• Once the splash pad is open, we are planning to have water and freezies for sale.
