Spray Park UPDATE
July 24, 2024 2:00 PM
A technician has been out and a new part has been ordered in hopes of resolving the issues with the spray park. The spray park is closed but we aim to have the system back up as soon as possible. Any updates will be posted here.

Dear Residents,
We know how much the kids love the spray park and how disappointing it is to find it not working. The mechanical & technical issues with the system that we have inherited are proving to be challenging, and we are doing all we can to keep it running and to find ways to make it more reliable. In speaking with other communities with the same system, this seems to be a shared experience, but we are hopeful that we have found a solution.
There have been suggestions through email and social media about communicating real-time updates via our website or even mass email, but until today that has not been possible for several reasons. The outages experienced have been random in frequency, and inconsistent. The length of downtime is not known in advance as some had relatively quick fixes, and others did not. None of them were planned, as the system is programmed to run between the hours of 9am and 9pm with only minor disruptions required to rebalance chemicals, which cannot always be timed as they fluctuate based on level of usage, amount of direct sunlight and temperature.
The contractor will be back early tomorrow morning. If there is a delay, we will advise as quickly as we are aware with an update on our website and social media. We are truly hopeful that the majority of the issues we have been experiencing will be resolved by tomorrow, and will communicate as efficiently as possible.
Every effort has and continues to be made to have the much-loved spray park working properly, and we thank you for your patience.

Want to sponsor a CHOA event?
Did you know that the CHOA hosts events and regularly communicates to residents through email newsletters and a monthly printed newsletter?
A few small businesses have approached the CHOA with an interest in providing sponsorship of varying levels, in exchange for promotion in different forms. We would love to help promote local businesses and are able to do so in a number of different ways:
Level one: $50.00-$99.00
Includes: Social media promotion
Level two: $100.00-$199.00
Includes: Social media promotion, and inclusion of your business name as a sponsor in our newsletters
Level three: $200.00+
Includes: Social media promotion, inclusion of business name as a sponsor/partner in our newsletters, and in-person representation opportunities – Businesses are welcome to set up a table or tent to offer promotional items (ie: business cards, samples, or draw baskets), provide a tent/canopy with business logo/info for our use, or have representatives mingle in person during events to hand items out.
As we continue to grow, so will our promotional offerings, so your feedback is welcome.
If you are interested in sponsorship, please reach out to us at admin@crestmonthall.com!
Questions about who is responsible for what
We know that there are many questions surrounding which organization is responsible for what. We will be creating a detailed document to provide a clear breakdown. The CHOA, CCA, and City of Calgary websites each provide details about their individual responsibilities.
Questions for the CHOA should be directed to admin@crestmonthall.com.
Questions for the CCA should be directed to info@crestmontcommunity.org.
Questions for the City of Calgary should be directed to 311.
While the CHOA Board welcomes questions, conversations and engagement with our members, we do expect that such interactions with volunteers, staff, and all other members generally, be respectful. To that end the Board has adopted an anti-harassment policy that is posted below. Thank you for helping make our community a pleasant and cooperative one.shou
