Overlook Park Splash Pad

Located at the end of Main Street, Overlook Park "overlooks" the beauty of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. The Park includes a stage where live music is played, a brick plaza, historical information about the early settlement of the Native Americans, and public restrooms. The Overlook Park Splash Pad will be constructed behind the stage at the existing park and provide a new seasonal water play area.

Project Background

This project proposes the construction of a splash pad behind the stage at the existing park. The splash pad will incorporate a combination of natural elements and ground level features for water play with the following considerations:

• Approximately 2,000 square feet
• Recirculating system
• Rain Garden
• Direct discharge to sewer

Next Steps

Repairs at the Overlook Park Splash Pad are continuing to move forward. The original contractor has addressed and repaired leaks in the system, and today the design contractor began work on site to assess and fix the mechanical issues needed to bring the feature into operation.

The design contractor is expected to be on site for the next 3 to 4 weeks, after which we will have more information and update the community.

At this time, we do not expect the Splash Pad to open for the 2025 season, but we are encouraged by the progress made so far in the repair process.
