As summer temperatures start to sizzle, Coon Rapids welcomes the return of a refreshing oasis for residents looking to beat the heat. The splash pad at Boulevard Plaza is now officially open, inviting folks of every age to enjoy a cool respite from the relentless sun. The city announced the seasonal opening of the water feature this past Saturday, making it a perfect weekend kickoff for families, as per the Coon Rapids Minnesota.

According to the Coon Rapids Minnesota, the splash pad is operational from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and this will continue through to Labor Day. With no reservations accepted, it's a game of first-come, first-served when it comes to securing a spot at the shelters and picnic tables that sprinkle the park landscape. This family-friendly spot, nestled at 11002 Crooked Lake Blvd., shares its home with the Coon Rapids Ice Center, making it a hub of activity year-round.

As city employees ensure the facilities stay clean and the water flows freely, visitors are encouraged to enjoy all the amenities that accompany a day at the park. For more information on the splash pad and other park details, interested parties can visit the city’s official website.
