The splash pad at McDade Park reopened Sunday morning following repairs, county officials announced on the park’s Facebook page.
The splash pad will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m..
Officials first announced the water pump problem June 6 and identified the pump controller as the cause the next day.
Prior to the pump issue, the splash pad opened for the season despite McDade’s pool remaining closed pending a more substantial project to repair leaks discovered when workers attempted to fill the pool earlier this year. An engineering consultant ultimately recommended that all of the tile joints on the pool’s floor be repaired, though the timeline for that project remains unclear and McDade’s 2025 swim season remains uncertain.
The renovated pool opened in August 2023, part of a $3.1 million project that also included a new bathhouse, restrooms and splash pad equipment. The county opened the pool last year in late June after a delay prompted by a prior leak repair.
The cost of the pending pool repairs won’t be known until the scope of the work is defined and the county receives competitive bids, county officials said.
