The Cedar City Rotary Club and Cedar City RAP Tax are on a mission to transform the Canyon Park into Cedar City's first Water Park and we NEED YOUR HELP!!
Major Donors
The Cedar City Rotary Club has supported local and worldwide projects that provide for the enrichment of children's lives since 1925. The Club built the world class Veteran's Memorial Park among many other noteworthy projects in our community and continues to support academic scholarships to high school students to attend Southern Utah University and Southwest Tech. Cedar City's RAP Tax has supported the ARTS and PARKS for many years. Cedar City Motors has joined in many efforts to build a better community. NOW is the time for us to help the children in the community in another way - with homegrown, hometown water features in the beautiful Canyon Park!
What will the park include?
Heritage and History
Water features will highlight the historical use of water in the Cedar Valley and will be explained through several kiosks.
* Shallow flows and sand beach for toddlers
* Deep runnels and interactive head-gates
* A bridge connecting the East/West Parks
* Water weirs, flumes, center pivot and irrigation practices
GROUNDBREAKING - APRIL 2024
On April 23rd, 2024 Rotarians, dignitaries from Cedar City, 5th Grade students from East Elementary and folks out enjoying the park gathered for the Groundbreaking for our Canyon Water Park Project!! It was a beautiful spring day in Cedar City made all the more wonderful by a remark made by a young lady from Chrysalis: "People don't think about people like us. Thank you for thinking about us!!" THAT is why the Cedar City Rotary is building this all-inclusive water play area. AND, soon-to-come more play equipment for those of all-abilities.
WHY?
· # 1 choice for kids!
Water Parks are totally
cool, and great fun! It’s time to take a break from computers and video games.
Everybody out, everyone in the water!
· Fun for everyone!
No matter what you’re
into, there are activities for you – an all-abilities area, shallow water for
toddlers, pivot to run under, picnic area, information on our water heritage. It’s all there waiting for you!
· Playing at a
Water Park is the best reward for students!
After 180 days of school, a
lot of homework and even more tests, a reward is well deserved. Stop being
serious for one day and have fun in the water park.
· Everyone outside!
Make lasting memories by
having fun outdoors.
· It saves gas and
time!!
You don’t have to drive
over 50 miles to St. George to have fun in the water. Stay and Play!
· Summer is short
in Cedar City so enjoy it while it lasts
Don’t wait for your
weather app to call for nice weather. 30% chance of showers also means 70% nice
weather!
· 11,600 smiles!!
That’s the number of
happy children under twelve in Iron, Beaver and Garfield Counties!!
Happy Children = Happy Parents!
With your help we will build a top-notch water
play area in the scenic Canyon Park!
Here's the progress!!
