The St. Charles Park District eagerly anticipates the grand reopening of its splash park at Otter Cove Aquatic Park, set to welcome families and children for an unforgettable summer experience. Following extensive renovations, the park district will unveil a host of exciting new amenities designed to delight visitors of all ages.
The revitalized splash park boasts a plethora of brand-new amenities aimed at enhancing the visitor experience. Highlights include interactive water features such as sprayers, bubblers, and cascading waterfalls, providing refreshing moments of aquatic enjoyment. A state-of-the-art sand and water play unit equipped with pulleys, levers, and tables, generously donated by the St. Charles Park Foundation and supported by the Norris Foundation, promises endless imaginative play opportunities for children.
For thrill-seekers, a new play structure featuring a mini waterslide adds an element of excitement, complemented by a redesigned playground area complete with swings for even more outdoor fun. Expanded shade and seating areas ensure comfort and relaxation for families, while resurfaced pods and upgraded landscaping contribute to a picturesque environment perfect for summer outings.
The renovation project also includes the replacement of aging amenities and surfaces, alongside the installation of new plumbing, pipes, and filters. These improvements ensure the park meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing quality recreational facilities for our community.
The grand reopening celebration is scheduled for May 24th from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 3615 Campton Hills Road. The highlight of the event will be the official ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m., marking the culmination of months of hard work and community support.
