Temporary Closure of Whitecourt River Slides June 22 to 25

 

The Whitecourt River Slides will be closed temporarily from June 22 to 25 in order to complete facility enhancements.

Maintenance and landscaping work will be completed on the “slow” run of the water feature. In addition to replacement of the liner, enhancements will be made to the channel to minimize water pooling.

The work is scheduled as follows (subject to favourable weather conditions and no construction delays):
• Monday, June 15 – Temporary fencing will be erected around the “slow” channel and crews will pull up the existing liner. Landscaping crews will re-shape the run to minimize water pooling. The “fast” channel will remain open for public use.
• Monday, June 22 through Wednesday, June 24 – Both channels of the Whitecourt River Slides will be closed to the public while crews replace the liner and complete landscaping work.
• Thursday, June 25 – Pending no delays due to weather or construction, the Whitecourt River Slides will re-open to the public
