Warren County Splash Pad now open
Ribbon cutting at the new Warren County Splash Pad. Photos and video by Mike McCool, Royal Examiner.
It was 67 degrees out but that didn’t stop Whill Stanley from trying out the new splash pad. The new Warren County Splash Pad is an exciting addition to the popular Dr. Seide Memorial Botanical Gardens and the adjacent Lion’s Park and Fantasyland playground.
Whill Stanley is the first ‘kid’ to used the Splash Pad, despite 67 degree weather.
And a big ‘kid’ too
Watch as this exclusive Royal Examiner video brings you the ribbon cutting and remarks from Dan Lentz, Director of Warren County Parks and Recreation, along with Dan Murray and Tom Sayre from the Board of Supervisors and Doug Stanley, County Administrator. Also representing the Rotary Club of Front Royal was Bret Hrbeck. This project was a community effort with about 30% of funding coming from community donors.
Special thanks to the Dominion Foundation (Blue Ridge Arts Council), Warren Coalition, Rotary Club of Front Royal, Kiwanis Club of Front Royal, County of Warren and Warren County Parks and Recreation.
And for Beth Waller for her assistance in talking to Dan Murray, Dan Lentz and Doug Stanley.
