**CITY OF TIMMINS NEWS RELEASE**

The City of Timmins would like to advise the public, that as Monday, September 17, 2018, both local splash pads will be closed for the season to begin the process of winterization.

It is that time of year when the City typically closes the splash pads located at Hollinger Park and White Water Park. This prevents damage to the equipment from the water freezing, as temperatures start to drop at night. In conjunction with this regular work, the City will also be closing the Hollinger Park playground in order to complete upgrades to the park, including the installation of a new swing set.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. We would also like to remind residents of the many other beautiful parks in our community, which continue to be available for use.
