Splash pad opening a big success

A fun time was had by all!!

Thanks to everyone who came out last week to celebrate the opening of the Conway Park splash pad. The Conway Rec Center staff did a great job of turning this opening into a festive occasion - and the weather cooperated - no rain, but enough heat to make running through the water seem like a great idea!!

Families were treated to a hot dog supper, a bounce castle, games, and some free gifts, as well as the fun of the main event. Oh yeah, and Parks designer Anne Gardener, Parks official Gwen Peterson, and City Council President Kathy Lantry spoke. District 1 thanked the residents who worked to make the splash pad and the adjacent play area possible - Eric Widi, Erika Martin, Susan Hommes, Mary Brownlow, and Hope Schirmer. Thanks everyone!! This is a great asset to the neighborhood in these hot summer days.
