Splash pads open until Sept. 20, 2009
Northside Pool will close for the season Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 5 pm, but all of the City's free splash pads will remain open through most of September.
Splash pad hours are 9 am ' 9 pm daily through Labor Day. After Labor Day, splash pad hours will be noon ' 8 pm daily. The splash pads will be turned off for the season at 8 pm, September 20.
All splash pads are touch activated. To turn the water on, look for a short pole (approx. 3 ft. tall) with a plastic dome top located within the play area. Place your hands on the dome for a few seconds. The water will appear shortly and run for several minutes. When the water stops, repeat the procedure. The splash pad at Robert E. Meyers Park is foot activated. Look for the touch pad on the ground at the east side of the splash pad.
