Cache Bay has a new Splash Park and Playground.

Officials in West Nipissing unveiled the new play area on the municipal grounds at the Cache Bay Community Centre this week.

Through fundraising efforts and partnerships, the Cache Bay Park Committee raised over $45,000 with the Municipality contributing $40,000, along with $15,000 of in-kind services.

There was also $125,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Construction on the park started earlier this summer and wrapped up earlier this month.

Officials say Cache Bay has seen a population increase of about 14 per cent with more than 160, of it’s 1,100 residents under the age of 18.
