Plans are coming together for the potential splash pad at Norwayne Field. Councilman James Young shared some details from a preliminary design plan that was provided to him by Vortex Aquatic Structures.

The splash pad in the design would encompass the entire concrete slab that already exists at Norwayne Field. It would utilize about 69 gallons of water per minute and have 21 flush mount water fixtures.

The splash pad would not be running the entire time that it’s on. Instead, there would be something in place for kids to activate in order to get the water going.

To get the cost down to the figure that the Town proposed, the potential lighting fixtures were scrapped from the plan. The quote provided was for $60,000, which was the maximum amount that town officials said they were willing to pay for the recreational water feature.

Young said that Vortex representative Bill Smith will be present at their next meeting to answer any questions that the council may have.
