Thank you to everyone who came to our ribbon cutting yesterday afternoon! The splash pad is officially open!

Thank you to the community for the enthusiastic support you gave this project, we couldn’t have done it without each donation, time and money, we received and the support of the City of St. James.

Tomorrow is the big day! We can’t wait to cut the ribbon!

Who’s ready to splash!?

We’re excited to announce the grand opening of the St. James Splash Pad!

We’ll have a short program and ribbon cutting and then the splash pad will be open for the year! 💦

B-Lo Zero Sno Cones & Minnie Donuts will be there to celebrate with us as well!

We’re so close to being open! We’re waiting on a few final items to be checked off the list before it can be up and running. 🤞🏼 we get at least one nice day to enjoy it in September!

While the process has taken longer than expected, the end is in sight! Crews have been working hard getting the water hooked up and spray features installed. Thank you Margaret Maire for the pictures!

We plan to have a grand opening soon and hopefully the weather will stay warm enough to enjoy the splash pad a time or two yet this season. Keep watching for updates!
