💦 Splash Pad Progress Update! ☀️

Big things are happening at Clifford Townsend Park, and we’re loving the progress! The new splash pad is well underway, and it’s already shaping up to be a go-to spot for summer fun! 🔧👷‍♀️

This will be a FREE, family-friendly spot where kids can cool off, play, and make memories — right in the heart of our community. From the foundation to the water features, every piece of progress brings us closer to opening day! 💧🌞

We snapped some updated photos so YOU can follow along as this exciting project comes to life. 🎉

📍 Clifford Townsend Park is leveling up — and we can’t wait to see families enjoying this brand-new splash pad very soon!

💥Also are pictures that show a model of what it will look like when complete!

👇 Check out the pics below and tag someone who’s going to love this! 💜💛
