The Gilbert Plains Splash Park is one step closer to becoming a reality after a generous donation from Kelleher Ford in Dauphin.
During the month of January, Kelleher Ford donated $100 from every vehicle purchased and $50 from every Ford Maintenance Plan and Extended Warranty purchased to the Splash Park. At the end of the day, Kelleher Ford donated $1950.
"This is absolutely huge for us, we're so grateful that they reached out to us," said Cory Gulenchin. "They worked extremely hard off to get us the most needed funds. Thank you so much to Kelleher Ford for what they've done, we love working with them."
The Splash Park which will be located at Centennial Park where the current wading pool is will be state of the art. The cost of it will roughly be $400,000. Through donations and grants, the goal is to complete the park as soon as possible for the community and everyone to enjoy.
"This isn't just for our community, it's for the surrounding communities around us," concluded Gulenchin. "This is a one of a kind Splash Park that no one has seen before. It's going to be incredible and we all can't wait till this gets built and ready to go."
