A playground at the site of a former school in Swift Current has seen its metaphorical doors open to the public.

As of today, the Community Services Division of the City of Swift Current has announced that the play structure on the former site of St. Patrick Catholic Elementary (St. Pat's) School is open for activity.

The official opening of the structure, located on the corner of Lorne St. W and 8th Ave NW, comes at a great time according to Andy Toth, Parks Manager for the City of Swift Current.

"This new play structure is a great addition to the community and area. We are very excited to be able to open the park for the Canada Day weekend so families can help celebrate 150 years."
