Construction of new Galt Gardens play space to start in June
LETHBRIDGE, AB – A new play space is coming to Galt Gardens in downtown Lethbridge.
Fencing is set to be put up in June for the construction of the Galt Gardens Inclusive and Accessible Play Space. The new amenity will be built immediately adjacent to the Rotary Centennial Fountain in the southeast corner of the four-hectare park.
The City of Lethbridge said it will consist of inclusive and accessible play equipment, rubber surfacing, plaza space and park furniture.
Crystal Scheit, Urban Revitalization Manager, said the City of Lethbridge obtained a grant through the Canadian Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) of $375,000, “of which we were able to leverage some existing City funding to help to fund this amazing project that’s going to be constructed this summer.”
