Little Falls splash pad project takes shape with $750,000 budget

Adding a splash pad to Little Falls has been a goal of the City since around 2000. If all goes according to plan, it will finally open 25 years later, in summer 2025.

During its Monday, Aug. 5 special work session, the Little Falls City Council received a comprehensive update on the City’s upcoming splash pad project, including details on the site design, construction plans and overall budget. The presentation provided Council members with a detailed look at the project’s scope and the City’s efforts to create a high-quality, sustainable recreational amenity for the community.

According to Public Works Director/Engineer Greg Kimman, the splash pad will be located in the Little Falls Recreation Complex, adjacent to the existing playground and pavilion. The project will include the installation of a prefabricated bathroom and changing room facility, as well as the splash pad itself. The total estimated cost for the project is $750,000, with $500,000 allocated for the splash pad, $200,000 for the bathroom and changing room building and the remaining $50,000 for other expenses such as irrigation.
