Major addition coming to Rotary Park

1img026

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.

Drumheller’s inaugural National Indigenous People’s Day celebration was held on Wednesday, June 21 and was organized by local Indigenous liaison Lynn Fabrick. The day, which celebrates and honours Indigenous peoples, coincides with the summer solstice--the day with the longest daylight hours of the year--and Lynn shares it is a full day in which to celebrate. Activities kicked off at Dry Canyon Collectables and included traditional games and crafts, along with a sample of traditional foods such as bison, blueberries, and bannock. Celebrations continued into the evening at the new downtown plaza where some 30 people joined to play games and enjoy drumming and singing by Duane Red Old Man. During the friendship song, attendees were encouraged to join in the dance; about a dozen people joined the circle dance around the gazebo.
