GOALS FOR THE PROJECT

Splash Pad Design Goals

  • Fun

    There are going to be a variety of water features to keep kids entertained for hours!

  • Safe

    For the park to remain fun, the splash pad needs to be safe.

  • Accessible

    The splash pad will designed to be enjoyed by kids of all ages and will even be accessible for wheelchairs.

Fundraising

Raised: $235k
Goal: $665k

This goal was determined based on the splash pad scope for the Alexandria community and other supporting needs for Fillmore Park (e.g. parking lot).

Timeline Goal

Given the project's current trajectory, we aim to make the splash pad a reality in June 2025.
