BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you're looking to cool off during the warm summer days, the splash pads in the City of Buffalo are now open for extended hours.
Ten of the city's 11 splash pads initially opened on Memorial Day weekend, now they'll be open a little longer. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown announced Wednesday that the splash pads are now open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Labor Day, weather permitting.
"I’m excited to announce our splash pads will move to extended hours starting at 11 a.m. tomorrow [Thursday] morning, just in time for the upcoming stretch of hot and humid weather. Our splash pads, which are located throughout the City, are very popular with families seeking a free, fun, and cool destination for their youngsters during the warm weather months," Mayor Brown said.
Last month, the Kensington Park splash pad officially reopened to the public after being closed last summer for repairs. Meanwhile, The Allison Park splash pad on Reese Street is scheduled to open by the end of June after some repairs are made. An exact reopening date has not been provided at this time.
