Century’s Splash Pad Is Not Open. Here’s Why.
May 24, 2025
Memorial Day marked the unofficial start to the summer, but a splash pad is not open in Century’s Showalter Park.
Town officials say the problem is twofold. First, there’s no electrical pad to the splash pad due to an electrical problem after a small fire in the ballpark. Second, without power, the town can’t properly diagnosis and fix a problem with the pumps and controls that operate the splash pad.
The town says they are working to fix both problems and open the splash pad as soon as possible.
Century’s splash pad first opened in 2017, funded by a $50,000 state grant.

Is this the same maintenance crew that will be maintaining the natural gas station next to the courthouse ?
Pete principal in full force.
Would somebody please tell me about any service or utility that Century provides that is working as it should.
And yet they are more worried about getting money to redo the drug swap and drop off location, I mean community center.
This should have been addressed back in the fall. Typical Century. Add it to the list of many other things that still aren’t fixed.
Typical for Century, to not maintain what they have. How much was spent on this boondoggle and it’s not even functioning?
