A Unique Community Project:

This was an exciting time for the residents of Pilot Butte! The Pilot Butte Spray Park Committee and the Town of Pilot Butte worked together to create a spray park in the community that would:

  • provide space for youth to play and be active
  • generate social opportunities for local families
  • be designed with safety in mind
  • provide for accessible play and encourage inclusivity
  • create local tourism from the surrounding area
  • allow for space around the pad for enjoyment of the outdoors

This project was not only about creating space with a spray park, but it was about creating a space where the community can gather as a whole and make memories together. A place where neighbours can become friends and the community can get together and enjoy the warm days of summer.

Project History

The completion of the pad and structure occurred in Summer of 2020 with Fundraising Initiatives by our Spray Park Committee of Council, Sask In Motion Challenge Winner and support from the Town. In 2021, Our Beautification Committee and our Public Works Department stepped into action to provide landscaping. Dutch Industries generously donated the Gazebo and it was installed in early 2023. A washroom/change room facility had been purchased from Hytek Modular Solutions and placed in the park in 2024, with installation and completion in spring/summer 2024 as weather permitted. In Spring 2024 the concrete sidewalk was poured, followed by the deck with stairs & an accessible ramp to the washroom/changeroom facility. A water station was added with a drinking fountain, water bottle filler & pet fountain. Final touches including landscaping was then added, to complete the project and be ready for full use in Summer 2024. A Summer Splash event was hosted in 2024 for the community to gather together, celebrate and enjoy the completed project!
