Water Fountain Project Provides A Unique Fred Gingell Park Addition

 
Project Committee members Dan Patching and Ian Bourhill introduced our club's latest undertaking; a unique water fountain slated for Fred Gingell Park. With the assistance of the artist sketch we were presented with some of the design details of the project.
 
 
  • Four outlets on three levels accommodate adults, children, dogs and water bottle filling
     
  • Dimensions are  80" high  50" wide  8" deep
     
  • Cost of $47,000 will be shared 50-50 with the municipality
     
  • Work in kind donations also play a part ie plumbing
     
  • High quality chlorinated and sediment free municipal water supply
     
  • Push button control keeps hands away from water flow
     
  • Run off water flows to drained basins
     
  • Park water fountain use grows as plastic bottle use declines
     
  • Beach stair climbers will appreciate the water station
     
  • Stair climbing exercisers will also have a counter station
     
  • Granite construction expected to minimize graffiti
     
  • Completion planned for April
