June 4, 2010 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

All of the City’s free splash pads were turned on Tuesday, May 25, with plans to keep them turned on until Labor Day.

Splash pads are touch activated. To turn the water on, look for a short pole (approx. 3 ft. tall) with a plastic dome top located within the play area. Place your hands on the dome for a few seconds. The water will appear shortly and run for several minutes. When the water stops, repeat the procedure.

Splash pad in Waynedale is located at 2900 Koons & Elzey.
