THUNDER BAY -- Three city-run splash pads are set to open on Thursday.
In a release issued on Wednesday, city officials said they plan to open for the summer season splash pads at Prince Arthur's Landing, Northwood Playfield and County Park.
The Northwood and County Park splash pads will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., while the Prince Arthur's Landing site will be open from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Two other splash pads, located at Franklin Street Park and North End Community Centre, will open on Friday, June 23.
“The opening of the splash pads is a sign that summer is here,” said parks and open spaces manager Cory Halvorsen. “Each structure is unique and we encourage the public to enjoy all the various splash pads located around the city.”
The splash pads are typically open until early Septembe, dependent on weather.
