Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, Ward 4 Councilwoman Nikki Lee, and Tucson Parks and Recreation invite you to celebrate the completion of a new splash pad at Freedom Park, 5000 E. 29th St, on Saturday, May 3, at 10 a.m. This project was made possible through Tucson Delivers, 2018 voter-approved Proposition 407 bond funds and impact fees.
"Investments like these are made possible thanks to Tucsonans who voted yes on Proposition 407, a $225 million bond package to improve our City Parks and Connections," said Tucson Mayor Regina Romero. "Our pools and splash pads are part of our heat relief infrastructure located throughout the city to help keep residents cool, and they are especially important as we head into the hot summer months. I look forward to celebrating with the residents of Ward 4 as we unveil this new splash pad and other amenities that will make Freedom Park more accessible and enjoyable to all."
The celebration will coincide with the Annual Ward 4 Splash Bash held at Freedom Park, from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Councilwoman Nikki Lee invites the community to come and enjoy this free event, with food, jumping castles, games, and crafts.
This project consisted of the removal of the existing wading pool, installation of a new splash pad, fencing, outdoor furniture, and the remodel of two existing restrooms to meet ADA accessibility requirements. McGann and Associates was the design team and Kappcon Incorporated General Contractors was the contractor for this project. All City splash pads will be open daily from 8 a.m.-sunset, through Oct. 31. For a list of all City of Tucson splash pads, visit Tucsonaz.gov/parks.
