SPLASH PAD ANNOUNCEMENT:
6/2/23 @ 1:00P
Good news! We have identified the problem with the Splash Pad. After extensive testing of drains and all of the water lines, what we found was there is a broken water line under the concrete that feeds the large purple and blue pole. This was causing our large water loss. The large purple and blue pole has been isolated and turned off for the summer. Unfortunately, the only way to fix this specific element is to cut and dig up concrete. So, we have decided to just leave this element off for the summer and fix it in the fall so we do not have to have the entire Splash Pad down all summer.
So at this time we have OPENED the Splash Pad! Have fun this weekend and thank you for your patience.
LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR:
Hello Friends,
Here comes the Sun! Spring is starting to emerge and things are starting to get green. The Sandwich Park District is once again excited to spend another great spring and summer with you. This winter we enjoyed many successful programs and events. We were pleased to once again offer our Daddy Daughter Dance and Mother Son Bowling event this winter. Both were very well attended and all our participants enjoyed their night out. We also closed out our 2022/2023 basketball season this winter. We a fantastic season this year in Sandwich and we will continue to offer this great league to the community. One program that we brought back this winter was our Jr. High Nights. This program was very popular pre-COVID and now that its back it has gained popularity again. This program offered teens the opportunity to burn off some energy on a Saturday night with open gym activities. We love being able to offer these types of programs to our community not only for the kids but for everyone. READ MORE
