The City of San Marcos has reactivated splash pads at several local parks earlier than scheduled due to unseasonably warm temperatures. The early activation allows families and children to cool off and enjoy outdoor recreation during the current heat wave.
Splash pads are now operating at multiple parks throughout the city, including Mulberry Park, Buelow Park, and Cerro de las Posas Park. Repairs are currently underway at the splash pad at San Elijo Park.
