The Proposed Project

White Bear First Nations is looking to create a publicly accessible all-ages spray park as a social gathering place and foundation for a community area. The project features all-ages water play equipment and will be fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring high-level accessibility throughout the park. The project will also install a modern water recirculating system, which treats and reuses the water that will go through the park. This will minimize the water requirements to run the park, ensuring that it is both ecologically and fiscally responsible without any loss of functionality. The spray park will be installed in a central location within the community as part of a larger revitalization project which will include supporting sidewalks, green space, and gathering areas.
