Just in time for what should be a beautiful weekend with lots of sunshine — the splash park at Vermillion Park is now open.
Dauphin Recreation Services Operations Manager Wes Carnegie says a mechanical issue required a replacement part, which arrived yesterday.
“We turned on the park and it worked perfect. We just had to do some tweaking with the water levels today, and it’s good to see it up and running,” he said.
Dauphin Rec say the department will be sanitizing the area 4 or 5 times a day, and are asking the public to be mindful of public health recommendations when at the park.
“It is still social distancing as best as you can. I know at the splash park it is kind of hard, but we don’t want 200 people down there. Just use your discretion if you feel that there’s too many people down there, maybe come back in a couple hours when it’s a little slower.”
The hours at the splash park are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. — and the bathrooms at Vermillion Park are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
