Everyone, from babies to seniors, will be able to enjoy the large gazebo shade structure coming to Rotary Park. Working in association with the Town, it is hoped this 20 x 30-foot structure will be in place by mid-October. The unit is being manufactured at the Oasis Trailer plant in Rolling Hills and will then be transported to Drumheller by a wide-load truck.
Birthday parties, children’s activities, club meetings, cultural events, a location for family and friends to get together are just a few ideas for this facility, in addition to providing shade and cover from the elements. It will be located close to the kiddie’s skating rink, the structure will provide a place to put on the skates and sit down for a rest.
Rotary feels the gazebo will be extremely popular in the summer months plus there are opportunities for winter use.
Capacity is about 50 people. Thirteen stools will face toward the north and offer a clear sight of the kiddie’s spray area. Another 13 stools face in a southerly direction. Then in the middle are two 4 x 10 foot tables complete with benches.
This will be just the second shade structure of its type anywhere. The first one was erected in Taber in 2016 and reports from there continually refer to their gazebo as a “beautiful” structure that has become a focal point for birthday parties.
In 2024 Rotary celebrates 100 years of service to Drumheller and area.
