With a couple of days temperatures in  the mid-70's the number 1 question on the minds of Ellsworth parents has been "When is the Splash Pad going to open?

We can tell you that the Splash Pad in Ellsworth's Knowlton Park is hopefully going to open on Saturday, June 13th.

Ellsworth's Public Works' employees are scheduled to begin working on the splash pad on Monday, June 8th, with the hopes of having it operational on Saturday, the 13th.

Last year, the Splash Pad didn't open until July 3rd, because the surface needed to be repainted. and then dry. Traditionally the Splash Pad is open in late May-early June.

The bathrooms at Knowlton Park are open. According to the City of Ellsworth the splash pad and changing rooms are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily when the air temp is over 65F and the bathrooms are open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Ellsworth's Splash Pad opened in 2015, so this marks it's 12th season of fun!

So get ready. It won't be long until you'll be able to  grab a towel, pack a picnic,  and head out to Knowlton Park for a great wet time!
