JAMESTOWN, N.D. (TRAC) – Great River Energy is contributing $50,000 to Two Rivers Activity Center’s Building Community Campaign to construct the outdoor Meidinger Splash Park.

The park will include a bath house, three elevated water activity stations with four slides, multiple fountains, and splash zones. There will also be a multi-use court for basketball and pickle ball as well as sand volleyball courts and bocce fields. In addition, there will be a large grass space for free play.

Great River Energy’s contribution will be directed towards the Discovery Stream, which includes interactive weirs encouraging collaborative and mindful play for all ages and ability levels.

“Great River Energy values its partnership with the community of Jamestown and looks forward to the addition of the Splash Park to provide recreational opportunities for local residents,” says John Bauer, director of North Dakota generation, Great River Energy.

The Splash Park will be part of the Two Rivers Activity Center, which is owned and operated by the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Department. The overall campaign has a $3 million goal. Officials broke ground for the Splash Park on August 26. Construction is underway and plans are to open in May 2021.

“Jamestown Parks and Recreation and Two Rivers Activity Center are grateful to organizations like Great River Energy that prioritize supporting needs in the communities they operate in. With each donation we receive, we become that much closer to our goal. We thank Great River Energy for making a difference in our community,” Amy Walters, facility manager, Two Rivers Activity Center.
