Wetherby Park Splash Pad Draws Citywide Visitors
In Cedar’s Wellington Heights the Wetherby Park splash pad drew about 20 children on a Monday afternoon as Iowa City neighbors weighed a crime tainted reputation in southeast Iowa City. A Broadway Street apartment was shot up the day before prompting police to investigate a local violence incident. Residents say the splash pad, opened in May, brings positive attention to a neighborhood that historically avoids visitors from other parts of town.
