ASHLAND — With the pouring of concrete on Monday, RJ’s Spray park took one step closer to opening.
Officials from the Kroc Center, Simonson Construction Services and Rain Drop Products were on hand as subcontractor Sloan Concrete used a large concrete pump truck to pour the concrete while their crew worked diligently to smooth it all out.
It took a total of 11 concrete trucks to pour the entire splash pad.
The old spray park was dismantled in 2020 to make room for the Kroc Center’s indoor water park, which opened in 2021. The new spray park, dubbed RJ’s Spray Park after Ray and Joan Kroc, will be adjacent to the existing picnic pavilion that was relocated when construction began for the indoor water center.
A community celebration for the opening of RJ’s Spray Park is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 1. To stay up-to-date on the latest developments of RJ’s Spray Park, please follow @AshlandKroc on Instagram and Ashland Kroc Center on Facebook.
