Due to a recent power surge from a suspected lightning strike, the control panel at the Ehlert Park splash pad sustained damage and the splash pad will unfortunately not be open this weekend.

Staff are currently working with contractors to assess the damage and complete repairs as quickly as possible. We understand this is disappointing with the warm weather approaching, and we appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while repairs are underway.

We will provide an update as soon as additional information and a reopening timeline become available.
