The City of Abbotsford is planning to construct a new water feature at Pepin Brook Park next to the existing playground. Water features can incorporate fun and interactive ways for children to play with water and for people of all ages and abilities to cool down during the hot summer months.

The new water feature(s) will complement the existing park amenities and provide park users with a fun, interactive and safe way to enjoy the park during the hot summer months.

Most of the park will remain open during the construction period. The new water feature is expected to be open for late spring 2027.
