Riverview Splash Pad to close for season

The Riverview Splash Pad – located at 1101 Martin Luther Jr. Drive – will close for the season on September 2.

Which means if your children or grandchildren want to enjoy an afternoon of playing and splashing at the splash pad, then this holiday weekend is your last chance of the summer.

The splash pad will be active from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. every day until September 2 and can be turned on during these hours by rubbing the silver activator pad located on the wall between the restrooms.

“Back to school may have kept you busy, so we here at the Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department want to remind parents and grandparents the splash pad will be open for a few more days,” said Parks and Recreation Program Coordinator Renee Ensor. “So, if you have time this weekend, come on down and enjoy this great recreational asset.”

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department wants to remind residents that the Centennial Park water feature will continue to operate into October before closing for the winter season.
