The City of Grande Prairie have agreed on a project to set up lights around Muskoseepi Park.
During the October 6th city council meeting, council agreed on a $20,000 project to put lights around the Erine Radbourne Pavilion and the pond.
The goal of the project is to make the park not-so dark in the winter, and make the area more festive.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says that because of community feedback, it gave the city the idea to bring the project in.
“For many years we have heard from residents who maybe have attended lit skating ovals in Spruce Grove and how beautiful it is and how enjoyable it is. we’re looking forward to seeing how those light’s light up that area and make it more festive.”
The $20,000 will be coming from the city’s Community Enhancement Fund, the purpose of the fund is to attract and foster community pride, with hopes to promote tourism and economic development.
The lights are planned to go up sometime over the next few months.
