Collingwood's splash pad and water play park opened last week and now that it has a summer weekend in the pipes, town staff and council will be cutting the ribbon for the official grand opening ceremonies. 

The Awen’ Waterplay Park is at Harbourview Park, adjacent to the Awen Gathering Place with the water flowing from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily since Aug. 18. The site includes multiple water-play features including waterfalls, a splash pad with animal water activators, a washroom/change facility, an outdoor shower and parking.

According to a social media post from the town, there has been some feedback on the hours of operation for the park, which the town says are under consideration. 

The official ribbon cutting will be Thursday, Aug. 24 at 11 a.m.
