Local group bringing new ideas to area parks

How would you like to use workout equipment at Hollinger Park?  How about a drink of water at the White Water Park?

Well, if recommendations from the Healthy Kids Campaign comes to fruition, you’ll be able to do that and much more.

The campaign is being run by the Misiway Community Centre.

Officials came to council to present some ideas of what can be done to improve the health and quality of life for local kids, but some ideas aren’t just for children.

Project Manager Madison Mizzau says they’d like to see stationary workout equipment on land at Hollinger.  As well, Mizzau mentions having water refill stations.  She says they would like to see it at the White Water Park in South Porcupine.

Based on discussions with community partners, Mizzau says having chilled water at said stations is a priority.

There was also talk of having a mobile water refill station, one that could be prominent in the downtown area at Urban Park.

The third such idea from the campaign would see development of land on Airport Road, for a new recreation area owned by the Misiway Centre.
