A non-profit group in Pictou has been given the go-ahead to get the ball rolling on building a splash pad in town. The Brody Park Splash Pad Society has presented a proposal to council, with the town taking ownership and operations once the project is complete. Megan Graham of the Society says this is only the first step of the multi-year project, as there are plans to draft and money to raise.
Pictou Mayor Jim Ryan says the proposed splash pad, coupled with a skate park also in the works, would be a boon for Brody Park.
The splash pad came before Pictou Town Council on Monday night.
