Splash Pad At Drexel Town Square Set To Open On Saturday

OAK CREEK, WI — The splash pad at Drexel Town Square in Oak Creek is set to open for the season on Saturday, just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

The interactive water feature is located on the west side of the square, just north of the Civic Center, the city announced in a Facebook post.

You can press silver buttons on the pad to activate a four-minute water cycle, turning various water displays on and off. When the water is going, you can also press two red buttons to change the water from a geyser into a flower spray, according to the city's Facebook post.

As Milwaukee County grapples with a lifeguard shortage, other staples to beat the heat such as the Cool Waters park in West Allis are expected to remain closed this summer.

People can use the splash pad from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily through Labor Day, aside from during maintenance and special events, according to the city.

You can find bathrooms in the area at 332 West Town Square Way.
