Splash pad

The splash pad is on City Green at City Springs, 1 Galambos Way, an interactive fountain for children’s play. The city has said that in the summer season it is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, with a button that turns on the water for a 30-minute cycle. An adult must supervise young children, children who are not toilet-trained must wear swim diapers, and nobody may play or swim in the other fountains. Sources: the city’s splash pad notice and the City Green page. Pets are not allowed on the lawn or plaza.
