The Strathmore Lions Splash Park has opened early for the summer.
Although originally intended to open on June 1, the Town of Strathmore announced on Friday (May 30) that the park was open two days early.
Several residents arrived at the Splash Park to celebrate, including Strathmore resident Brooke-Lynne Betterton.
"It's just something nice to do," said Betterton. "There's not a lot around here in the summertime to get kids outside, so it's nice to be somewhere that's free and get some of their energy out."
Betterton has been going to the Splash Park for four years and said she looks forward to going every year.
"My son was super excited that it was open, and we got to come play today."
During the summer, Betterton also likes to attend Canada Day, the local Farmers' Markets, and exploring the parks across town.
The Splash Park is expected to remain open until September 1.
