Splash Park and Jumbo Jumper open this weekend in Festival Park
Posted on:
The Splash Park and Jumbo Jumper at Festival Park will open May long weekend. Both features will be open from 10am to 9pm until the Labour Day Long weekend (weather permitting).
The opening of the Whitecourt River Slides for the summer season is delayed due to construction. Crews have been working to replace the slide liner, and the feature will open for the season once repairs are complete. Work is expected to be complete by the end of May 2025.
Please follow Whitecourt on social media, or visit www.whitecourt.ca, for updates on when the River Slides will open.
Multi-Use Courts construction starts this summer
On June 5 at 1pm, community members are invited to participate in a sod turning event at Festival Park for the multi-use courts. Partners of the project include the Rotary Club of Whitecourt and Active Communities Initiative Fund. The intergenerational space was identified as a priority for the community in the Sportsfield Master Plan, and will include courts for pickleball, basketball, badminton, tennis, and ball hockey. Construction will start this summer and is expected to be complete by the fall of 2026.
