Salina Post
The splash pad at Jerry Ivey Memorial Park is temporarily closed due to a water contaminated diarrhea incident.
Salina Parks & Recreation announced on Sunday that the splash pad will be closed until Tuesday, July 21, at 12:00 p.m.
Per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, the splash pad must remain closed, while the water undergoes an extended period of elevated chlorination to eliminate harmful bacteria and parasites.

Additional splash pads can be found at Hawthorne Park (715 N 9th Street) or Centennial Park (746 Hemlock Drive).
