Construction to begin soon on Darlington splash pad

Construction will soon begin on a new splash pad in Darlington, with anticipated completion by the start of the summer. The splash pad will take the place of the existing kiddie pool, located south of the full-size pool on Clay St. The splash pad will be approximately 50 feet by 100 feet and be farm themed. The bid process is currently open and bids are due Thursday, Nov. 13. The city’s goal is to have the splash pad open for children to enjoy as soon as the weather heats up.
