If you saw the Marshalltown TIMES REPUBLICAN last week you know that there is a petition circulating for the installation of Splash pads in Riverside Park. If you haven't please check it out. There is some funding available from Blue Cross Blue Shield. To find the petition go to "change.org" look for the "find" at the top of the page and next to the 'magnifying glass' type in "Splash for Life". Follow the pages. Feel free to skip or sign the other other petitions that pop up, as is your wont. I think 5 or so come up.
The Splash for life would be an upgrade to our park and think about the annual BBQ festival, concerts, car shows, camping, Ragbrai and other tourism applications that it benefit and would add to Marshalltown's appeal.
Of course the best reason is to provide a safe cooling place at the north end of town that is an alternative to the river.
It is a good idea. Please get on board
