The committee has been fundraising for the project since February of this year.

Young families in the Pontiac will have a new destination on hot summer days as the grand opening of the Litchfield splash pad was held Sunday afternoon.
The project was initially brought forward to council in February by the Litchfield Leisure Committee, made up of Kristin Morin, Courtney Harris, Adele Denault and Jenna Pilon. The municipality agreed to purchase the equipment for the project if the committee fundraised the remaining $15,000 for labour and installation.
