A splash of summer fun

The City of Sherbrooke officially inaugurated its fourth splash pad on Thursday at the Coeur-Immaculé-de-Marie park in Fleurimont. The new water games take the place of the swimming pool that was closed due to its disrepair last summer, and were installed at a cost of roughly $550,000
As is the case with the other three splash pads in the city, the new one uses a system that recycles and treats the water being used to help reduce waste. Although this type of system is more costly than one that simply uses fresh water on a continual basis, Nancy Robichaud, Chairperson of the city’s commission for culture, recreation, sports and outdoor activities, said that the decision was made to be in line with Sherbrooke’s polices on responsible water use.
