The City of East Lansing is hosting a gala to celebrate the opening of the newest addition to the Family Aquatic Center.
The $250,000 splash pad is a large, fully accessible water play area. It includes 12 interactive water features that spill, spray, mist or splash on kids. The splash pad is also wheelchair accessible.
“The splash pad will add a completely different experience to the water park,” says Elaine Hardy, with the City of East Lansing.
The East Lansing Rotary Club has raised $150,000 for the splash pad. The City of East Lasing is continuing to raise the remaining $100,000. The gala will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 28 at the Summit Community Bank on Abbot Road.
