Bonham, Texas -- On Tuesday, January 28, 2020, representatives of First United Bank in Bonham made a $1,000 donation to the City of Bonham to be used for the splash pad being constructed in Powder Creek Park.

Alan McDonald, First United Community Bank President - Bonham presented the check to Bonham City Councilmember Tony Rodriguez and Bonham City Manager Sean Pate.

Certain to be a favorite treat for area children this summer, the splash pad is being funded by community support. The sprawling Powder Creek Park complex contains a hiking path, community playground, picnic tables, public restrooms, benches and the remnants of a historic dam used by the railroad during the steam-engine era.

The splash pad will be located on the north side of Powder Creek Park, on the east side of Powder Creek Park Community Playground and north of the restrooms.

Total cost of the project is estimated to be slightly less than $84,000.

Powder Creek Park is located at 400 South 5th Street in Bonham.
