Update on Splashpad.
After a few weeks of consideration the hours of operation were changed first thing this morning from 9am - 6pm to 9am - 9pm. This allows more time for those who work late hours to enjoy the splashpad as well as cooler temps for the evening hours.

Aquadome: The aquadome feature that was damaged in a previous storm was replaced and now is fully functioning.

Dumping Buckets: All three dumping buckets are now fully functioning.

Thank you to our Public Works team and Power Play for the assitance in getting everything ready for the Big Bang Event tomorrow.

We are not having the best luck with the new bathrooms at the park. PLEASE help us keep an eye on them and help keep them clean. We want them good for our families to use for years to come.
