The City of Rochester Receives $195,000 Grant For New Splash Pad
According to a news release from the city, the $195,000 grant will support the new splash pad that will be a free, fun amenity in Lincolnshire Park. The grant was administered by the Minnesota DNR.
Rochester Parks and Recreation Director Paul Widman said the funds will allow the city to save 'hundreds of thousands of gallons of water each year because of a recirculating system that the grant allows the city to purchase.
“We are very excited to have received this grant from the DNR. These funds will allow the City of Rochester to save hundreds of thousands of gallons of water each year by employing a recirculating type system," Widman said. "It also allows for better control of the play elements for enhanced user experience. Finally, the grant dollars provide for a more fully accessible facility by adding paved walking/biking trails through the park.”
