2015 Parks & Facilities In 2015, there were numerous projects happening in Niverville within Hespeler Park, NEW Highlands Park
development, Niverville Centennial Arena and the Niverville Curling Rink.
Hespeler Park:
Hespeler Park was the star of upgrades in 2015, receiving funding from Building Manitoba Fund to build a
large parking lot off of Hespeler Park Circle Drive, to allow more visiting guest to park within Hespeler Park.
The next large project in Hespeler Park was the upgrades to the Baseball Diamonds. The Town of Niverville
Public Work’s department dug up two of the diamonds infields and replaced it with new dirt/clay, in 2016 the
plan is to complete the other two diamonds infields.
The largest project in Hespeler Park is the new
development of the Splash Pad. In Early 2015,
the process started with Request for
Proposals, with awarding Shelmerdine Ltd.
Summer 2015, the construction began of the
splash pad, including the building of
maintenance shed with storage. The Splash
Pad was almost completed by the end of
October 2015. Shelmerdine Ltd. will be
returning in spring 2016 to test the systems
and train staff. Niverville Recreation also
received funding from the Canada 150 Fund
to add onto the Splash Pad to include female and male washrooms with change rooms and a
canteen area to serve healthy snacks for splash pad users, along with soccer and baseball
participants. The building of the washrooms/change rooms and canteen will be tendered out
and awarded early spring 2016 and completed no later than fall 2016.

NEW Highlands Park Development:
The Highlands Park development has finally taken off with the great help of the Community Places Program
Funding in 2015. The Highlands Park is currently the only park in the Highlands residential development. It is
located off of Krahn Road and Tweed Lane, and will consist of green spaces for free play, a play structure,
swing set, walking paths connecting to existing paths along Krahn
Road through to Tween Lane, which then connects paths to Main
Street, connecting the Highlands Development with the rest of
Town.
The Community Places Program funding helped with the beginning
stages of the park; rough landscaping, berm development, top soil,
walking path development and the installation of the in-ground
sprinkler system which will be installed in 2016. The next phase of
park development is the play structure, swing set, benches and
waste receptacles to be installed after phase one is completed.

Niverville Centennial Arena:
Every year the Niverville Centennial Arena gets a fresh coat of paint in the lobby and change rooms, however
in spring 2015 the Public Works staff took on an extreme task of painting the rafters above the ice surface. The
end result has been breath taking, the change from brown wood to white has brightened up the ice surface
drastically. Users of the arena had noticed from the get-go of the changes in the ice surface area and
complemented staff of the brightened change. Things have really changed in the past three years at the
Niverville Centennial Arena for the better.
Niverville Curling Rink:
The Niverville Curling Rink has been through two major changes in 2015, upgrading from the 1970’s
washrooms to current modern and accessible washroom facilities with the help of the Enabling Accessibility
Fund (EAF), and the upgrade of the basement to better suit programming and Curling Club activities.

Parks and recreation opportunities are essential for
strengthening and maintaining a healthy community. Positive
impacts are evident throughout the community. Recreation
brings neighbours together, encourages safer, cleaner
neighbourhoods and creates a livelier community atmosphere.
Parks and recreational facilities also help improve a
community’s image, socioeconomic status and enhances the
area’s desirability.
