The next phase of construction for the Splash Pad at Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park (170 S. Kellogg) will begin this Tuesday, May 21, 2024, prompting the re-opening of the playground and bathrooms and the closure of the multi-purpose field and fitness equipment. The closures are necessary for the installation of shade structures for the picnic tables and for field maintenance.
