The splashpad at the Murphy Arts District Playscape is officially open for summer, and local children have been enjoying the relief from the heat. The Playscape is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. MAD will also start hosting MAD Movie Mondays next week, starting on June 5 with a screening of the 2022 movie "Minions: The Rise of Gru."
Dozens of families descended on the Murphy Arts District Playscape for an Easter egg hunt on Saturday. Sections were divided up by age group, with younger kids searching around the splash pad and older kids searching for eggs around the playground on the opposite side. The egg hunt coincided with the Easter Farmers Market, which was held nearby at the MAD Amphitheater. (Matt Hutcheson/News-Times)
