Sunning pad done. Splash pad concrete started. Concessions building in. Covered patio almost done. Monday, more pad work and concrete for patio and walk way to concessions stand and restrooms. Drew Pitts and I built the awning cover framework today. Started from scratch at 7:30am. Framework done by 3pm. It was great having a helping hand for a change. Built by community for community. Any handy workers out there want to jump in and help, let me know. Builders, craft workers, plumbers. Any!! Message me. If its not finished on time someone sat on their butt. Get involved!!

For those that know me. For those that dont. Its not about Kevin Kimery. Its not about money. Its about Pearl, Mississippi. Rankin County, Hinds,Madison,Smith and all the cities in between that we want to reach out to. Its about bringing them to PEARL. Friends, family, but most of all…Children. Some Facts about Pearl. We have had a lot of (firsts), but here are a few you may not recognize. 1989 The first martial arts Children camp. 1992. First martial Arts afterschool in the state and longest running in (the nation)!1993. The largest satellite childrens program in (The United States), first founded as Youth Activity Services. It alone has enriched the lives of over 12,000 children, and now a non-profit child advocacy group . Founded? Yup! In Pearl. 1998 The first ever after school summer camps program of its kind. An activity center not a daycare. We are different. And now… Splash Time Pearl. We may not be the first at it…. But its in PEARL. It is a giving back to a community that made all of those other things so possible. But it also where home is. Where family born, was raised. Giving. It takes four things. A will, a way, a heart, and God. Donate and be a part of, The cause. In person, by mail, by Venmo. Its about being…. Different. Be watching for our Go-Fund-Me.

Just a few more pics. We made a few changes to Splash Time Pearl. We enlarged the main building. Larger restrooms and concessions. And we now have 6 private covered picnic stations instead of 5. Two to three more are expected to be added hopefully by late summer. Each will be a different color. In the pic are the colors chosen. Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Pink, Purple. Our plans are to allow sponsoring of each pad. We want the public to get involved big time! Sponsors can decorate as they choose, and we hope you will. Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, or just festive summer time. A sponsor can be a business, family, or group. Sponsorship is for 4 years!!! After that you can redo or allow others to sponsor. If you or you know of anyone that may be interested please let us know. Right now all colors are up for grabs. Your family name, business name, or group name will be posted in the park as a sponsor. Did we mention Easter? We missed it this year but we got plans!! Easter 2024 we plan an Easter Egg Hunt, Free to the public!! No admissions charged. And if the weather is, (splashing good) we can all splash together. Splash Park season will run April to October. Too hot to be closed, is our motto. For sponsorships call Kevin Kimery, 601-832-0341. Or just message us. More news coming soon.
