Evansville neighborhood to get new splash pad
HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – Residents of the Tepe Park neighborhood will soon have a new way to cool off during the upcoming hot summer days.
Officials announced a new splash pad is slated to open this summer.
Work on the project is expected to begin this spring with equipment arriving in June. The splash pad will open as soon as installation is complete.
Evansville Executive Director of Parks and Recreation Danielle Crook presented the plans to the Board of Park Commissioners at a recent meeting. Officials say the project, one of three major park improvements announced this year, is funded by the $24 million Parks Bond passed in 2024.
'As we work to revitalize neighborhoods across Evansville, making sure every community has access to safe, well-maintained parks is a top priority,' said Mayor Stephanie Terry. 'From new, safer playgrounds at Garvin and Fulton parks to this exciting new splash pad at Tepe Park, we're making long-overdue investments that give families more places to play, gather, and make memories.'
