SAVANNAH, Ga. () — The city of Savannah will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony next week to celebrate the opening of a new splashpad.

The splashpad is part of the Recreation Re-Imagined Initiative, expanding the Recreation and Leisure Services Department’s aquatic offerings to 16, including four city-managed pools.

All splashpads are open seven days a week from March-October, operating from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m.
