Friday afternoon the Gilbert Plains Splash Park Initiative hosted a local family for a donation towards the cost of the project including the naming rights of the park.
Cory Gulenchin the vice-president of the Gilbert Plains Splash Park initiative spoke to CKDM about the newly named Oksana and Quinn Dutchyshen Memorial Splash Park and said that it was a massive announcement for the Splash Park.
The work on the splash park will continue in the spring in order to have it ready to open next year. They are still seeking more donations and you can head to their Facebook page to find out how to help fund this project.
The Dutchyshen family donated $100,000 to help the funding needed for the completion of the park, as well as to honour the two girls who died tragically in 2019.
When it opens the park will be a state-of-the-art splash park for families to enjoy for years to come.
