Project Updates - Parks and Recreation

We're making exciting progress with our park projects!

Check our wspmn.gov/park-projects for the latest updates.

MUNICIPAL SWIMMING POOL IMPROVEMENTS COMING
Big things are ahead for our community pool! Plans are underway to upgrade the pool, bathhouse, and adjacent playground. While the exact timeline is still taking shape, construction is likely to begin in 2026. Stay tuned for future opportunities to share feedback as we get closer.

KENNEDY PARK RENNOVATION PROGRESS
Major upgrades at Kennedy Park are moving right along! Construction should be wrapped up by early fall. If you’ve driven by lately, you’ve seen the transformation in action—if not, we’ll be sharing final photos once everything’s complete.

THE FUTURE OF 150 THOMPSON PARK
Following strong support from community members, commissions, and city staff, we're moving forward with the "Spillway" concept for the 150 Thompson Park site. In the coming months, we'll continue to refine the concept, which focuses on community gathering and unique play spaces. You can check out a preview of early designs and inspiration on the city's website.
