EVENTS AND HAPPENINGS DURING THE GRAND OPENING

Local Fire Departments will be coming together for this great event, and competing in the old tradition waterball fights to celebrate this big event.

There will also be lots of fun for the kids, with face painting, a bike raffle, and the Firefighters Splash Pad will be open for all to enjoy.

Music will start at approximately 5:35 pm, immediately following The National Anthem. The Musical guest for this fun event is Fine By Friday, who play a variety of music featuring Rock and Classic Rock music; all the fun to dance and splash around to.

Everyone who wants to attend is invited to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the food, music, and fun of this very special event.

The Splash Pad will be open daily from 8 am to 10 pm, generally from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Parents should know that the splash pad is unsupervised, so parents are responsible for their children. Park rules state that children must have adequate adult supervision at all times, and children who are not yet potty trained need to wear swim diapers covered by rubber pants.

Other rules are pretty general. No climbing, pulling, or hanging on equipment; no running on or around the Splash pad, and remember...if it's storming, you should NOT use the Splash pad.

Although it might sound like a good idea at the time, keep in mind that water balloons, playground mulch, bottles, rocks and other foreign objects should be kept OUT of the Splash pad areas.

Pets are prohibited from entering Alexander Park & the Splash Pad area as well.

There are trash barrels provided around the park, so please keep the brand new park litter free so everyone can enjoy.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
