The splash pad season was scheduled to end on Sept. 5 but has been extended to Sept. 11 due to expected warmer temperatures next week, the city announced on Friday.
The city operates seven pads located in parks. The pads are open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the following sites:King Edward Park at 455 George St. SouthTurner Park at the corner of Chamberlain and High streets
“Local families will be looking for ways to cool off during this mini heat wave, and we are thrilled to be able to offer our splash pad facilities for an extended season,” stated city councillor Lesley Parnell, chairperson of council’s Arenas, Parks and Recreation portfolio.Story continues below advertisement
The city says splash pads close before the fall to prevent pipes and the water system from freezing as temperatures begin to drop between fall and spring. The city notes the beaches at Beavermead Park and Rogers Cove are not supervised since the summer lifeguard program ended on Aug. 27. Peterborough Public Health’s season water testing at the beaches is scheduled to wrap up on Friday, Sept. 1.
