Splash pad fun will be available to local families across Chatham-Kent beginning this holiday weekend.
With the exception of pads in Tilbury and Wheatley, closed because of the current boil water advisory, the remainder of C-K’s municipal water parks will kick off for the summer season Saturday. These parks will be in operation straight through to Labour Day weekend in September.
Locations include:
- Optimist Park, 356 Oaks St. in Bothwell
- Kingston Park, 91 Paxton Dr., Chatham
- Kinsmen’s Community Park, 760 Tecumseh St., Dresden
- Mitchell’s Bay Beach Park, 5 Main St., Mitchell’s Bay
- Kiwanis Park, 5 George St., Ridgetown
- Ferguson Park, 32 Wallace St., Thamesville
- Colwell Park, 300 Running Creek Dr., Wallaceburg
- Jaycee Park, Larkwood St., Wallaceburg
Officials want the public to take note that the splash pads at Blenheim’s Talbot Trail Place and Merlin’s Kinsmen Park are independently operated, and their opening dates may differ.
Other amenities are also open this week with seasonal boat launches in Chatham, Dresden and Jeanette’s Creek ready for service. Clearville Park’s boat launch will open prior to Canada Day.
