News - A splash pad revolves around water and right now it is water that is delaying any advances on establishing a splash pad in Richmond. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, speaking to the matter of a possible splash pad in Richmond at the September meeting of the Board of Directors of the Richmond Village Association, said that the matter is on hold at present until further information comes forward. Specifically, the challenges regarding establishment of a splash pad in the city’s ru-
ral areas deals with water supply. Councillor Moffatt said that the use of a rural communal well or a rural well as the source of water for a splash pad adds more difficulty to the project than a splash pad developed in the area of full urban services. He said that he is working to see if a splash pad can be established using a communal well such as the one which supplies water to the Richmond Glen area of Richmond. He said that there is not a “closed door” on the issue but that it is not an easy problem. Councillor Moffatt said that a splash pad uses a lot of water and so there is a need for
a definite and plentiful source of water such as that provided by the city’s urban piped water system. He said that with a communal well, the supply of water for a splash pad would not be as guaranteed as with one on piped services. He noted that Saunders Farm at Munster has a splash pad which is supplied with water by two wells. He noted, though, that it has requirements for washrooms and change rooms nearby which are not provided with splash pads in city of Ottawa parks. The Richmond Village Association has been discussing a splash pad for the village of Richmond, with Chanonhouse Park as one possible location.
