This past Saturday, the City of Wyoming opened its newest splash pad at Gezon Park. City, county and state officials were on hand for the big event with the water officially being turned on around 10:20 a.m. Area children couldn’t wait for the opportunity to cool off on the warm summer day, spraying each other along with adults standing to the side.
“I think it is great,” said Wyoming resident Chad Coots. “It shows the commitment to improving our community.
“I think often the City of Wyoming is misrepresented in West Michigan. This just proves the commitment to making their community better. I see the turnout here. We have the full support of the public works department, of the police, of the fire department and it just shows how great a community this is.”
The splash pad at Gezon Park is the fifth one within the city and the only one located in the city’s southern area. The other splash pads are located at Jackson Park, Lamar Park, Oriole Park, and Southlawn Park. All of the splash pads will be open through Labor Day weekend.
