Make a Big Splash! Grand Opening Celebration
The Town of Lakeview is excited to announce the anticipated opening of Lake County’s first splash pad. The Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting will be held at McDonald City Park on Friday, August 11, 2023, from 11am-2pm. The Mayor and Council invite you all to attend. There will be free hot dogs, chips, and water (while supplies last), music and prizes! All ages are welcome, and admission is free!
The splash pad is free of charge for community usage. The 437-square-foot Splash Pad includes:
- Safe place for kids to play in water. No standing water provides additional safety for children, eliminating the need for lifeguards.
- Billy Box Turtle Aqua Spout (This nature-themed Aqua Spout emits a water crown of gentle arching streams and is ideal for ages 2-5.)
- Six different spray features (Triple Arch, Aqua Arch, Baby Long Legs, Water Flower, Splash-O-Later and Water Weave) with a variety of PSI levels to easily accommodate zones.
The Splash Pad will create another destination and gathering spot for the community, attracting both visitors and residents of all ages. The design promotes inclusive play, motor skill improvement, cognitive development, and socialization.
The Town would like to give special thanks and recognition to the Collins Companies Foundation, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, and the Pacific Power Foundation for their generous contribution to this community project.
