What's going on with the Splash Pad?

Thank you for your feedback and concerns regarding the splash pad at Pease Park.

At this time, public safety remains our top priority. We cannot reopen the water feature until we are absolutely certain it is safe to do so. The sophisticated controller equipment that continuously monitors water quality, dispenses the chemicals, and automatically shuts off the splash pad when water quality is out of balance must be operating properly to ensure that it is safe for play. Unhealthy water quality can cause illness and death.We want to assure you that we are working diligently to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs. We are working with GPSI, the firm that designed and built the splash pad, as well as IPS, the manufacturer of the controller equipment.

To date, we have replaced all the testing probes, and the actual controller itself. Unfortunately, this has not solved the problem.  An industrial controls specialist is now being engaged to assess the system’s electrical components.We are grateful for your continued patience and support through this process.

We will reopen the splash pad as soon as it is safe to do so. Please reach out with any questions or concerns: info@peasepark.org
