The Athens SplashPad will not be closing this Labor Day, as previously planned.
The news was released via the Athens (TX) SplashPad Facebook page Monday evening.
“This decision was made based on the hot weather we have been having,” said the update. “We will post an updated closing date a week prior.”
Not all the news was good, however.
The same post also said a decision was made to turn off the red sprinklers “after several incidents of improper usage of certain water pad features.”
The water volume will also be turned down on some of the sprinkler heads to try and regulate the system.
