The Town of Sykesville is excited to present the Millard Cooper Park Splash Pad! The Splash Pad is a free water area for kids of all ages to play and have fun. With numerous water sprayers, a mushroom waterfall, a small slide, and a giant bucket that dumps water, there is something in the Splash Pad for everyone to enjoy! Bathrooms and a shower are nearby the Splash Pad.
The Splash Pad opened in 2022 and has been very popular since then! It is 2,500 square feet and was funded through grant money, money from the sale of the Warfield Complex, and Town funding.
Similar to a community pool, the water in the Splash Pad is tested and treated. The Splash Pad’s water tank is fed by the public water system. Water is pumped through a filter system, passes through UV disinfection, and is chlorinated before making its way to the different features on the Pad. The water is then recirculated into the holding tank and starts the process over again. Town staff monitors the chemical levels of the water several times a day everyday when the amenity is in operation to ensure proper chlorination and PH levels are maintained. These checks are both through a digital reading on our chemical feeders and manually with a standard water testing kit.
