Aberdeen Spray Park Reopens July 4

ABERDEEN, NJ — Aberdeen Township's very popular Spray Park (splash pad area) will reopen at 10 a.m. this Saturday, July 4. Gov. Murphy allowed the reopening of water parks, theme parks and amusement parks on Thursday, July 2.

The Aberdeen Spray Park is open to all; you don't have to be a resident of Aberdeen to use it. However, this year they will have many rules in place to operate the spray park safely:

1. Upon arrival guests will be required to wear a mask, as they will be interacting with splash pad area attendants.

2. Guest will be required to sign in.

3. Parents/guardians will be required to sign a waiver. The waiver explains that you are aware that any time you are in a public place you are at risk for catching COVID-19 as individuals can be asymptomatic.

4. All guests including children will have their temperatures checked and recorded. Anyone with a 100.4 temperature or higher will be asked to leave.

5. There will be ONLY 20 children allowed at one time in the splash pad area. Each group of 20 will have 30 minutes to play. Once the 30 minutes are up, it will be the next group's turn. If your child would like to go back into the splash pad area, you must resign in on the list.

"This is the most fair way for us to operate right now in order to allow all children who visit to enjoy the splash pad area," said the town of Aberdeen.

6. Masks are NOT to be worn in the splash pad area.

7. You are asked to social distance from others. If you are setting up chairs and blankets to hang out for the day, please be aware of others and give them the proper about of distance.
