Splash Pads A Community Hit

Complete with rotating buckets, water guns and sprinklers, two Saint John neighbourhoods are now spending hot summer days at their new splash pads.

Mayor Ivan Court tells CHSJ News splash pads are a great option for people who can't travel far to have summer fun.

Now that Crescent Valley and the South End have splash pads, Court says the city could eventually see them in all four wards.

Saint John Portland M-L-A Trevor Holder says he thinks their popularity is simple: people just love the water.

He says they gets kids out of the house and outdoors where they can exercise.
