Children will love Splashpad

PASCAGOULA - If all goes as planned, Pascagoula is likely to have some of the best parks in South Mississippi by year's end.
For starters, plans are under way to open the area's first-ever Splashpad, the latest in outdoor fun that offers a risk-free way for children to beat the heat.
The Splashpad, a $50,000 venture made possible through a donation from the Mississippi Power Foundation, features fan-like fountains with jets that spray water up and down at the touch of a button.
It's the latest fad in outdoor entertainment for the young and old alike.
'It's zero-depth - no standing water,' said Darcie Crew, director of the city's Recreation Department. 'The kids love it. It's interactive and they can set it off.'"

Ah.. I almost posted this one! I am excited about this though... I was thinking about getting in touch with the commissions about making sure there's a dog-friendly park somewhere in town. It would be nice to have a good enclosed place to teach Judge to play frisbee!
Just write to the city and suggest it. People have dogs as well as children and family pets would enjoy it too. I think it's a good idea. I can see Judge now!!!! lol
