Sudbury fabrication company donates splash pad

The splash pad at DJ Hancock Memorial Park in Sudbury has been a popular spot the past few days.

There may still be snow on the ground, but a community in Greater Sudbury is thinking about warmer days.

.Although we are a far cry from summer, a local fabrication company, Lopes Limited, is going to construct and donate a splash pad in Coniston’s Centennial Park.

Several splash pads have popped up around the city in recent years offering an outdoor play area filled with spraying water fun during the summer months.

Lopes Limited is covering 80% of the cost and the City of Greater Sudbury will chip in $50,000.

The project is expected to be complete by June of this year.
