Big changes are coming to Cpl. Darren Fitzpatrick Bravery Park in the Hart.
“Today’s event was the official sod-turning and flag raising at the park,” says mayor Lyn Hall. “It really marks the start of the construction of a new multi-use facility. The one that’s been generating the most discussion is the skateboard park – lots of interest in that.”
Hall says the park is a focal point of the community.
“It was really made clear to us that one of the most important things was to provide a skateboard park for the young folks in the Hart area. There’s been a lot of people working on that park for a number of years.”
But the skate park isn’t the only improvement coming to the park.
“Throughout the next little while, we’re going to see a fenced dog park, an expansion of the existing playground, some landscaping around the exterior of the park and a picnic and barbecue area.”
Most of the construction will be completed over the summer and Hall says the skate park should be open by the fall.
A new flagpole has also been built. At today’s event, Mayor Hall joined members of the Fitzpatrick family to raise the park’s first Canadian flag.
