Splash pad eyed as replacement for aging pool in county
Cryder, a former California recreation director, backs a zero depth splash pad to replace the aging pool in Aiken County. Emory Langston of the County Parks Department says the interactive water feature would be cheaper to operate, with an attendant trained in CPR and first aid instead of lifeguards. The commission weighs cost and feasibility as Augusta’s splash pad cost 150000 dollars and drew strong support for its appeal to children.
