Peachtree City’s newest recreation amenity has opened just in time for the peak of the summer heat.

A splash pad is now open next to the pool at the Glenloch Recreation Complex, 601 Stevens Entry. Featuring a variety of water-spraying fountains, the splash pad is part of a $467,000 renovation of the pool area that was approved by the City Council last fall. The pool and splash pad are open 1-6 p.m. daily through Aug. 4 and costs $4 for ages 3-11, $5 for ages 12-64 and $3 for guests age 65 and older (cash or checks only); there is no charge for children age 2 and under. Quarterly and annual passes are also available, as are discounted 10-visit punch cards.

Full schedules and pass information are at www.peachtree-city.org and from the Recreation Department office at 770-631-2525.

The renovation of Jekyll Island's Great Dunes golf course includes nine holes designed by Walter Travis in the 1920s for the members of the Jekyll Island Club. Several holes that were part of the original layout where located along the beach and were bulldozed in the 1950s.(Photo by Austin Kaseman)
