Crews with Roseburg Parks and Recreation are getting ready to open the Fir Grove Park Splash Pad on Saturday May 27th.

A City of Roseburg release said park staff has cleaned and filled the system’s 4,000- gallon tank, updated water feature nozzles and rebuilt an ultraviolet water treatment system that kills any algae or bacteria left over after filtration.

The splash pad is a free seasonal offering open daily each summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Hours of operation are from 10:00 a.m. to dusk. The interactive spray park is located just off West Harvard Avenue behind the Umpqua Valley Arts Center.

Parks and Recreation Program Manager Val Ligon said, “We are so fortunate to have such an awesome park for the community to enjoy throughout the summer”.
