Atmore Breaks Ground On New Splash Pad To Open Before Summer
February 14, 2018
A groundbreaking ceremony was held in Atmore Tuesday afternoon for a new splash pad.
“The project started in July of last year when the Atmore Rotary Club partnered with the City of Atmore and the Atmore Lions Club to attempt to raise funds to build a splash pad here in Atmore,” Allen Walston of the Atmore Rotary Club said.
The splash pad at Heritage Park on South Main Street will be about 2,000 square feet and will have a covered seating area for parents.
Walston said the splash pad will not only be a great benefit for local residents, but it will also become a destination for people from areas like Walnut Hill and Bratt.
“Those people will discover what Atmore has to offer, and they’ll spend money while they are in town, adding to the local economy,” he said.
Construction on the splash pad is expected to begin this week.
“Hopefully this project will be completed by the end of April, first of May,” Walston said.
