CITY OF BRENHAM SPLASH PAD REOPENS THURSDAY; RIBBON CUTTING PLANNED FOR APRIL 15TH
The City of Brenham splash pad at Henderson Park reopens to the public today (Thursday).
The splash pad is open seasonally from April 1-September 30 and is free to the public. The splash pad first opened last June.
Due to the Brazos River Authority’s (BRA) Stage 1 drought watch, the splash pad will have reduced hours of 2 to 7 p.m. for the month of April.
In recent months, funding from the Brenham Community Development Corporation (BCDC) was used to build and install several splash pad improvements, including sidewalks for connectivity, a single-family restroom, additional seating, and a bike rack. A shade structure was also built using a grant from the H-E-B Tournament of Champions Charitable Trust.
Public Works Director Dane Rau said the city is excited to open the splash pad for its second season, and is grateful for the city’s partnerships with the BCDC and H-E-B to make the new improvements a reality.
An official ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at the splash pad on Thursday, April 15th at 3 p.m.
