“As the province allows us to proceed with the next phase of our reopening plans, staff have worked diligently to ensure we can safely proceed, and the Millburn Splash pad is a perfect example of this,” said Mayor Kelly Linton in a June 22 press release.
“We know that families are excited to get out with their children, especially in the recent hot weather. We ask that you follow the rules and regulations in place so that we can keep these facilities open, and safe for everyone.”
The township press release notes the splash pad, which has been open since June 19, will operate daily from 9am to 8pm.
