The spray pad opened the public as part of a soft opening phase starting on July 13, 2021. During this time, residents are encouraged to try out the spray pad as the Town and its contractor test the system. During the soft opening phase, there may be times where the Town will need to close the spray pad to make modifications and adjustments to the system. Check back on this page to verfiy the status of the spray pad. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
