Splash Pads

Monday, June 23, 2025 Update: The Splash Pad at Gregg-Clarke Park is back up and running. Please note that maintenance is still ongoing in the surrounding area. For your safety, we kindly ask all visitors avoid the orange fencing as staff continue repair work. 

Gregg-Clarke Park Splash Pad Update (Friday, June 6): A full site evaluation is scheduled by the splash pad company to determine the scope of the issue and estimate a timeline for required repairs. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to restore a safe and reliable operation.

ALERT (as of May 30, 2025, 12:00 p.m.): The Gregg-Clarke Park Splash Pad is temporarily closed due to a mechanical issue. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Our team is working to reopen the splash pad as soon as possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
