Peters Township residents will now be able to enjoy themselves on a hot day at a splash pad that has been in the works for a number of years. Township officials and staff gave the splash pad in Rolling Hills Park a workout as they held a ribbon cutting event Thursday evening. Frank Kosir made sure that the bucket portion of the splash pad worked as he got drenched with several of the youngest of his constituents. He called it a great day to deliver the facility to the residents. Dave Brooks is the Director of Parks and Recreation for the township and he said that what the township now has is one more venue to make sure that Peters Township has anything residents want for recreation and not have to search for it elsewhere. Also on hand was state senator Camera Bartolotta. State representative Natalie Mihalek and Bartolotta were instrumental in delivering a $3.2 million grant to Peters Township to help offset the cost of the facility. Township Manager Paul Lauer called the splash pad something that cannot be found anywhere else in southwestern Pennsylvania. The facility also has outdoor picnic areas, an indoor party room available for rent and restrooms. The facility will officially open on August 4 and will remain open daily until September 1. The hours of operation are from 11-7. The cost is $2.50 per person for residents, $5.00 per person for non-residents. Annual passes for 4 people are available for $25, non-residents pay $50.
