Kennesaw Parks and Recreation will open the Swift-Cantrell Splash Pad on May 28.

The splash pad’s second season will be open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily (except Thursdays) at Swift-Cantrell Park, 3140 Old 41 Highway, Kennesaw.

Hours also are subject to change based on weather conditions.

Admission is $2 per person but free for children ages 2 and under.

Only major credit/debit cards will be accepted for admission payment.

Since capacity is limited, admittance is first-come, first-served.

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

Swimsuits and/or appropriate attire must be worn at all times.

Guests will be identified by a hand stamp for re-entry into the pad if they choose to leave.

The construction of the splash pad was a collaborative effort between the city of Kennesaw and Cobb County that was funded by the 2016 Cobb County Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).

The 3,200-square-foot facility offers various water play options for all ages, including a fountain spray, ground geyser, jet stream and sea silhouettes.

The fenced-in venue also includes shade structures and seating.
