Hot Springs Needs a Splash Pad!

What is a splash pad? It is a free, accessible, all-ages community water play area that will benefit residents and visitors! 

Park Avenue Community Association (PACA) is raising money to complete Watkins Park with the original park vision that includes a water splash pad.

A 3,000 square foot splash pad with a variety of water features including push button activated jets and a mushroom shaped water cascade is proposed at a cost of approximately $100,000. It is a lofty goal, yet an important piece of the park that will include inclusive play opportunities for everyone.

Please join PACA at Watkins Park, 811 Park Avenue, on National Popsicle Day – July 8, from 3-6 PM for free popsicles and hot dogs. Enjoy Hot Springs Gymnastics tumbling, StarStuff Theater, and games.

Engraved brick sponsorships will be available to build the foundation of fun. Each personalized brick can be sponsored for $100. Donations to Park Avenue Community Association are tax deductible. 

Check Facebook: Park Avenue Community Association for more information, or contact Briana Moore at 501-318-8871.
