Board approves plan that puts splash pad on east side of Marie Kraus Park

The final site plan for a splash pad at Marie Kraus Park was approved by the Fredonia Plan Commission last week.

The splash pad, an outdoor water-jet area, will be on the east side of the parking lot at the park across from the restrooms — positioned for easy connections to water and electrical utilities, Village Administrator Christophe Jenkins said.

In October, the Village Board approved contracts worth $196,000 to design and construct the splash pad, barring the expense of electrical work and running a waterline.
