RSM Splash Pad Reopens After Maintenance

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Rancho Santa Margarita's Central Park Splash Pad reopened Friday after maintenance repairs, city spokesperson Laura Lopez told Patch.

The splash pad was closed to the community for repairs shortly after April 9. Lopez said that following the success of the splash pad's grand opening, "certain adjustments were necessary to ensure the longevity of the splash pad."

As of Friday, Rancho Santa Margarita residents no longer need to create a reservation to visit the splash pad. Lopez said that in the future — and depending on the amount of people who want to visit the splash pad — the need for a reservation system will be reevaluated and updated as needed.

The zero-depth splash pad features custom sprayers, bubblers, dumping buckets and misters. In addition to ample seating and shade canopies, amenities include a tempered shower and onsite restrooms.

The Central Park Splash Pad was funded with Park Fees and Per Capita Grant Funds through Proposition 68, which provides funds for local governments for the rehabilitation, creation and improvement of local parks.

The city's splash pad is located in Central Park on 30842 La Miranda and open. The splash pad is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
