Shaunavon's proposed Splash Park is moving closer to a reality.

Kyle Bennett is the Chair and Co Founder of the Perk Up Our Parks Committee in Shaunavon. He says they have a budget of $300,000 and have already raised over $170,000.

Bennett says they have had great support from a number of sponsors and organizations and adds it's amazing to see all of the different businesses, people, and organizations in the community coming together and creating fundraising ideas.

The Braydon Coburn Hockey School, which happens this week in Shaunavon, is a major contributor as well as The Summer Chill 3 on 3 Hockey Tournament.

The Perk Up Our Parks committee also plans to fund raise at this year's Boomtown Cup Lawnmower Races on July 20.

Bennett says the Splash Park is something the community has wanted for a long time and he thinks it's evident that the people want to see it happen soon.
