Splashy Treat in August Heat
Riverview Park has a major new feature in place with the completion of a splash pad, located near the main playground, about a block uphill from Riverview Park Activities Center. The hot-weather facility's ribbon-cutting was held Aug. 2, and these scenes are from around noon of Aug. 3 and (following another facility improvement) the afternoon of Aug. 14. A similarly splashy set-up has been on duty for several summers in Summerfield Park and remains a magnet for kids.
Facing the challenge of both learning how to walk and how to navigate the splash pad at Riverview Park is 10-month-old Tatyanna Jones.
