WHO WE ARE:
The North Grenville Splash Pad Committee is a community minded group of local residents wishing to enhance an existing recreational space for families of all ages. Specifically we are looking to meet the needs of the young children in our community through the development of a Splash Pad at Riverside Park. While a Splash Pad is perfect for young children, it is also the ideal recreational feature due to the fact that it works for many age groups, can easily be accessed by people of varying abilities, and there are no barriers to entry in the form of pay per use fees.

COMMITEES GOAL:
OUR GOAL is to raise funds to build a Splash Pad in Kemptville, Ontario. As a committee, we profoundly believe that a Splash Pad will not only provide hours of safe water fun to thousands of young children and families within our municipality, it will also play a much broader role in the health, fitness, and well-being of the children within our community.
We strongly believe that a Splash Pad will be the NEW Jewel in the proposed redevelopment of Riverside Park. In addition to being an attractive feature of the park, it will also serve our downtown core well by attracting families from through-out North Grenville and the surrounding communities, which in turn adds to the support of our local small businesses which are housed in Old Town Kemptville.
Our final Goal will be to obtain councils approval for the 2014 budget in order to commence our fundraising efforts which will lead to construction in spring of 2015; this will be contingent upon local fundraising support from residents and local businesses throughout the next year and half.
Our Committee’s Fundraising Goal will provide funding assistance for the construction of a new Splash Pad which will include the following:
· Concrete splash pad
· An array of spray features
· Shade structure
· Landscaping
· Site Servicing
