“The holiday weather forecast looks incredible with lots of sunshine and seventy-degree temperatures, so we made the decision to open our popular splash pads this weekend for families to enjoy. Our splash pads are a free, fun, and cool destination for City children and their families and continue my Administration’s longstanding commitment to supporting programs and parks to further improve the quality of life and health of our residents."
The city said an 11th splash pad located at the Kensington Pool will open once construction is complete.
