Let the summer begin! Grab your swimsuits, towels and sunscreen. Greenwood’s new Freedom Springs Aquatics Park is now open! This is a family-friendly water playground for all ages. You will not hear those dreaded words, “I’m bored.” There are simply too many ways to enjoy the day.
There is a zero-depth entry pool, 25-meter lap pool, tube slide, two stunning body slides, a lazy river for floating away your cares, 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards and a children’s splash area.
The concessions area stands ready to soothe your hunger pangs. Shelters and cabanas are available for rental. The complex offers swim lessons for individuals or groups and a Stay Fit program.
Freedom Springs season runs May 30-September 7. The park opened for the holiday weekend Saturday, May 23. With school out, it is now open seven days a week.
“I am thrilled we are able to open this great amenity to the City and bring back a place for water fun for Greenwood,” said Mayor Mark Myers. “It is a wonderful place for family fun.”
