Roseburg’s interactive spray park will soon open for the season.

A City of Roseburg release said the Fir Grove Park Splash Pad opens Memorial Day weekend, offering an oasis where families can escape the heat this summer.

Parks and Recreation staff will soon prepare for the facility’s opening on Saturday, May 24th. Parks crews will pressure-wash the splash pad deck, inspect the ultraviolet water treatment system that kills any algae or bacteria left over after filtration, clean and replace water-feature spray nozzles, and finally clean the system’s 4,000-gallon water tank and its valves.

The splash pad is a free seasonal offering open daily from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Hours of operation are from 10:00 a.m. to dusk. The splash pad is in Fir Grove Park, just off West Harvard Avenue behind the Umpqua Valley Arts Center.

Parks and Recreation Coordinator Tracy David said, “We’re always excited to open the Splash Pad each year”. David said, “We encourage families to take advantage of this popular park feature as a low-cost way to enjoy summer in our parks”.
