Hey, St. Louis Park residents and visitors, get ready to make a splash this summer! The Oak Hill Park splash pad is set to kick off its season on June 2, assuming Mother Nature plays along. This isn't just any puddle to stomp in; it's a 2,350-square-foot water extravaganza fitted out to be a cool refuge for families and groups looking to beat the heat.
According to the St. Louis Park, MN announcement, for all the splash enthusiasts out there, the park will fling open its splash pad gates daily starting at 10 a.m. and keep them wide until 8 p.m., stretching right through to August 31. The park, located at 3201 Rhode Island Ave. S., puts a premium on accessibility and affordability, offering a free pass to residents while only asking a nominal fee of $1 from those not carrying a St. Louis Park home address.
But that's not all – this isn't just a run-of-the-mill spritz and spray affair. Oh no, the splash pad's design is all about inclusivity and fun, featuring an array of playful spouts and nozzles that promise to jet, sprinkle, and douse anyone in search of a brief respite from the summer swelter. Parents, take note, because with school out, this could be your ace in the hole for those long, lazy summer days when the kids need an outlet for their inexhaustible energy.
Remember, the operation of the splash pad is subject to the whims of weather, so it's always smart to have a backup plan. On a scorching day when the sun is beating down mercilessly, this splash pad could be the oasis you're looking for. Just don't forget to apply that sunscreen generously.
So mark your calendars, pack a picnic, and don't forget your swimsuits. Oak Hill's watery playground is almost here, and it's shaping up to be the coolest spot in town for those looking to chill, frolic, and make some summer memories.
