As summer reaches its peak, a new wheelchair accessible addition to Crescent park was added, to make the most of the outdoor months. A Dance Pad is in the process of completion in front of the current amphitheatre, after a long year of fundraising from the Crescent Park Foundation.

George Patterson, the President of the Crescent Park Foundation, spoke on the reason behind the construction.

"Wednesday evenings, people like to go to concerts, sometimes people like to go out and dance. There's no wheelchair accessibility for people down there or at least not very good accessibility, so we decided one of the projects we would do would be to provide a concrete dance pad. So we tendered that project this spring, and as of (Thursday), the concrete has been poured, so we're pretty thrilled to see that project virtually complete."

Patterson went on to speak on the difficulties faced to raise the funds, and explained how they managed to get the project in the works,

"As a foundation we're only able to spend the interest we earn on our capital account, and so every year, with low-interest rates, we haven't been able to earn that much, and so we had a very successful fundraising project last fall, and we had a big crowd up at the Heritage, and raised a significant amount of money," said Patterson, who explained the Foundations's heritage here in Moose Jaw. "The Crescent Park Foundation is a non-profit corporation that provides charitable donation receipts to people who donate, and our objective is to fund capital projects in Crescent Park, and we've been going, I believe, since 1971."

The Dance Pad is not the only project on the list for the Foundation, they also look forward to the construction of new, wheel-chair accessible bathrooms at Crescent, thanks to a donation from Co-op.
