Hoover Met splash pad June 2019 (1)
Kids and adults play at the 7,000-square-foot splash pad at the Hoover Metropolitan Complex in Hoover, Alabama, on Sunday, June 23, 2019. In its first couple of months, the splash pad has drawn an average of more than 200 people per day, complex Manager John Sparks said.
The Hoover Parks and Recreation Department is officially opening the splash pad at the Explore Playground at the Hoover Metropolitan Complex on Thursday, May 15.
The splash pad offers water play structures in a very shallow pool of water and is designed to include all children.
Hours for the splash pad are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The splash pad is closed on Mondays for cleaning and maintenance.
