(KAIR)--With most Atchison area children free from school for the summer, water-based activities are open for cooling off in the hot days ahead.
According to a release from the City of Atchison, the splash pad feature, located at the riverfront Independence Park, is up and running. The release says that splash pad is on and operating every day from 10 in the morning until 10 at night.
However, the release notes that the splash pad, located on Atchison's Commercial Street, is not yet in operation, due to what the City calls "technical difficulties." Repair work is planned, with that splash pad expected to be operational in the future.
At the same time as the operation of the splash pad begins, so, too, does the swimming season at Atchison's municipal Lions Pool, which opened for the season this past Memorial Day weekend.
