SPLASH PAD NOTICE (7/13/22)

Beginning Wednesday, July 13, splash pads will operate from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in accordance with the City of Waco’s Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan. This effort will reduce hours of operation by six hours and save approximately 36 hours of water usage daily between all six splash pads. We appreciate your understanding as we work together as a community to conserve water during this extreme weather.

Heads up, Waco! A small portion of the Cotton Belt Trail is currently closed for repairs. The affected area is located near the City of Waco Landfill, at the far end of the trail. Other areas of the trail remain accessible to the public. We'll remove this notice when the project is complete.
