Sensory Splash Day at the Splash Pad

Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation Department will host its first-ever Sensory Splash Day event at the Riverview Splash Pad (1101 Martin Luther Jr. Drive) later this month.
The event will take place on August 16 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and families of all ages are welcome to attend. The event is free, and no registration is required.
The splash day event is part of the department’s A.S.P.I.R.E. (Adaptive: Sports Programs Inclusive Recreation Experiences) program. Adaptive programs are for people with disabilities or physical limitations and are designed to ensure fair and equal competition among participants.
The splash pad is a zero-depth aquatic play structure that allows children to experience different types of water environments. Features include surface water jets, a snake head water spray, run-through loops with water jets, rotating water cannons, water buckets and a palm tree with water jets.
