When summer hits, Wisconsinites love to get outside and enjoy the warm weather. A growing trend among cities is building community splash pads, providing a fun and refreshing way to cool off.

The planned splash pad will be a place for kids and adults to not only cool off, but enjoy some interactive play with the installed water play equipment.
