Press release from the city of Asheville:
The City of Asheville Parks & Recreation Department announces that Splasheville, the very popular interactive splashpad located in Pack Square Park, is getting an overhaul. Work begins this week to replace the plumbing, wiring, control system and repair or replace the surface tiles and supporting gridwork. Weather permitting, work is estimated to take approximately 10 weeks. Once completed, Asheville’s favorite fountain will require fewer closures for maintenance which means more Splasheville time for our community.
The Splasheville renovations are a result of an assessment of all of the fountains of Pack Square Park completed in 2020.
For more information and to read the fountain assessment, visit the project page on the City of Asheville website.
