Gardendale

Splash pad grand opening set for today

The ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening for Gardendale’s splash pad will be today at 11 a.m. at Celebration Park on Fieldstown Road. The project represents one of the largest splash pads in the state and the first in north Jefferson County. A kindergarten class is tentatively scheduled to be on hand to be the first group to take advantage of the children’s water attraction. The $260,000 project is a 6,000-square-foot pad, complete with a variety of water features, and uses a circulatory water system to recycle water. The park will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to dusk. It will be closed Mondays for maintenance.
