As school winds down and temperatures rise in southwest Saskatchewan, Swift Current splash pads are opening up.

The pads provide the kids with a fun way to cool down and have opened in several locations.

The spray parks will be open at the following parks: Highland, Kinsmen, Riverside, Rotary, Saulteaux, ACT, and Westend.

"The splash pads are a great opportunity for families to enjoy hot summer days right here in the City," said Parks Manager Andy Toth. "Splash pads are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m."

The parks opened on Wednesday and will remain open until September long weekend.
