Fir Grove Splash Pad to Open Saturday, May 28

Summer’s nearly here, so the countdown has begun to open the splash pad for the season! Roseburg Parks and Recreation crews have been busy getting ready to open the Fir Grove Park Splash Pad on Saturday, May 28. Parks crews have filled the system’s 4,000-gallon water tank, replaced water filters and updated water feature nozzles. “We’re very excited about spending time with friends and family and to kick-off the summer with opening the splash pad!” said Roseburg Parks and Recreation Program Manager Val Ligon. Hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to dusk. The interactive spray park is located just off Harvard Avenue behind the Umpqua Valley Arts Center, 1624 W. Harvard Ave. in Roseburg. The splash pad is a free seasonal offering open daily each summer from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Shade is limited, so Parks and Rec staff advise residents to be prepared with sunscreen.
