AMMON — Hundreds of adults and children showed up to get wet at the grand opening of the Ammon Splash Zone Wednesday.

The splash pad is adjacent to the city of Ammon swimming pool and in McCowin Park, located at 3000 Southwick Lane in Ammon. The pad will be open daily from 8 a.m to 10 p.m. City officials say children under the age of 8 need to be supervised by a parent or guardian.

The pad was supposed to open last week but construction delays forced city leaders to push the grand opening back.

The facility will be open May to September weather permitting.

During the grand opening on Wednesday, Ammon Mayor Dana Kirkham introduced the park and had a special thank you to private donors who helped make the Ammon Splash Zone possible. Rockwell Homes donated $25,000 to help with the building of the pad, which is free to the public.
