The Thompson Community Foundation presented a $100,000 cheque to the City of Thompson at City Hall Oct. 14 for improvements to Eastwood Park.
The money, which originated with the Manitoba 150 host committee and its Build 150 grants program, is being used to purchase a Booster Basics play structure for the park.
The Thompson Community Foundation previously provided $35,000 for the splash pad at Eastwood Park and city council agreed in March 2020 to change the park’s name to Foundation Park in recognition of the Thompson Community Foundation’s contributions toward upgrades.
