☀️ Splash Pad Update ☀️
As we worked to open the splash pad today, we discovered that a new fuse is needed in order for it to operate. The fuse has already been ordered, but unfortunately this means we are unable to open the splash pad until it arrives and repairs can be completed.
We know many families were looking forward to enjoying it, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get everything ready for a fun and safe summer season. We will continue to keep the community updated and can’t wait to enjoy the park together this summer! 💦🌳
