Splash Park Opens

Saturday, May 21, 2011

— The Splash Park at Ernest G. Lawrence Plaza opened Friday.

A contractor installed three exterior drains to eliminate runoff being caused by the fountains. The park was closed for two days.

The interactive water park is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. There is no fee to use the facility. The splash park will remain open until Sept. 25.

Lawrence Plaza is just north of the downtown square at the corner of Northeast A and Blake streets.
