SPRAY ZONE

City of Chilliwack opens new, first-of-its-kind spray zone in Promontory

CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack residents can now kick off the summer season with a new place to splash, play and cool off.

The City has unveiled a new Spray Zone at Philippson Family Park, located at 46661 Sylvan Drive, featuring three small spray structures and a concrete area designed to collect water – the first of its kind in Chilliwack.

“The compact Spray Zones are an exciting new addition to our city,” said Mayor Popove. “We are grateful to the Philippson family for being dedicated community members who help us continue to make Chilliwack a great place to live.”

Users can activate the spray structures with a push-plunger switch that resets after 45 seconds.

The Philippson Family donated $40,000 to the Spray Zone in addition to the two lots valued at over $850,000 they have contributed for the original park. The park opened in 2021 with embankment slides, benches and a nautical-style playground to showcase Mr. Philippson’s career as a West Coast fisherman.
