Kelly's Whitewater Park was just a dream in 2008 when Mayor Dick Carter and Hans Borbonus discussed ways to enhance commerce and opportunities in Cascade. With 3.4 acres donated by Hans Borbonus and private funding generously provided by Mark and Kristina Pickard, the park became a reality in June of 2010 and continues to make rapid progress. More enhancements are planned for this work in progress.
Kelly's Whitewater Park is named for Kelly Brennan, late sister of Kristina Pickard

The large visitors center features an art gallery of mostly local photographs of the area. Videos of whitewater activities are shown on large video monitors. Spacious seating allows viewing of the river action in air conditioned comfort. An information center and store are located in an adjacent building. The grounds have lots of space to sit on the grass and watch the river action.
