The Fir Grove Splash Pad in Roseburg will open this Saturday.

A city release said Roseburg Parks and Recreation staff are pressure-washing the splash pad deck, inspecting the ultraviolet water treatment system that kills any algae or bacteria left over after filtration, cleaning and replacing water-feature spray nozzles, and cleaning and filling the system’s 4,000-gallon water tank and its valves.

The splash pad is a free seasonal offering open daily each summer from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Hours of operations 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 Program 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”.

The release said shade is limited, so Parks and Recreation staff encourage residents to be prepared with sunscreen.
