Residents looking to escape the impending summer heat will need to adjust their splash pad plans, as Don Misenhimer Park's popular water feature will be temporarily closed for maintenance. The City of Arlington announced that the splash pad will undergo resurfacing from Wednesday, July 17, to Tuesday, July 23, to ensure a "safer and less slippery surface when wet", according to the Arlington Parks and Recreation.
For those still needing to cool off, the city has listed alternative splash pad locations that will reliably serve the public during the period of closure. Located at 2121 Overbrook Dr, 76014, Brantley Hinshaw Park, and California Lane Park at 1931 California Ln, 76015, remain open and operational, offering a reprieve from the summer's embrace.
The decision to resurface the Don Misenhimer Splash Pad follows the city's ongoing commitment to safety and community enjoyment. While the inconvenience is recognized, the benefits post-maintenance are anticipated to enhance the recreational experience for families and individuals frequenting the facility.
