Temporary Closure of Kenwood Cove Due to Hazardous Materials Incident: https://www.salina-ks.gov/temporary-closure-of-kenwood-cove-due-to-hazardous-materials-incident

**UPDATE: The splash pad at Jerry Ivey Memorial Park has reopened and is now available for public use.

To help keep the splash pad operating safely and prevent future closures, we ask all visitors to do their part by keeping dirt and mud out of the splash pad area as much as possible. Your cooperation helps us maintain a clean, safe, and enjoyable space for everyone.**

Due to excessive mud and dirt being brought into the splash pad and filtration system, the splash pad at Jerry Ivey Memorial Park is temporarily CLOSED for cleaning and maintenance.

While we know this is disappointing, protecting water quality and preventing damage to the equipment is essential to keeping the splash pad safe and operational for the community.

We are asking all parents and children to please stay out of dirt, mulch, grass, and landscape areas surrounding the splash pad before entering the water feature. Excessive dirt and mud tracked onto the splash pad quickly clog the filtration system, impact water quality, and can force additional closures.

Please help us keep the splash pad open and enjoyable for everyone by:
• Using sidewalks and designated access points
• Avoiding dirt and landscape areas​
• Supervising children and encouraging them to stay on paved surfaces

Our staff is actively working to clean and restore the system as quickly as possible, and we will share reopening updates once available. It is anticipated to be sometime tomorrow.

Thank you for your cooperation, patience, and help caring for this new community amenity.
