Welcome to our newly redesigned Rutledge Park! In 2024, we unveiled an exciting update, featuring a refreshed playground, a new splash pad, and modern washroom/changeroom facilities.
Shortly after the splash pad opened, we discovered that chlorine from the splash pad water entering the stormwater system was slightly exceeding provincial standards for aquatic life. While chlorine is essential for protecting public health in drinking water, it can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems.
To address this, a temporary solution was implemented last season, and since then, our team has hired an engineering firm to develop a permanent fix. Pending the necessary approvals, construction is tentatively planned to begin in mid-June, with the aim of reopening the splash pad in early July.
We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the park’s facilities and ensure a safe, enjoyable environment for all. In the meantime, the Beckwith Park Splash Pad remains fully operational.
Thank you for your understanding!
