One reply on “City of Tucson to open more pool, splash pad locations”

  1. This splash pad craze is an environmental nightmare. Parks & Rec are destroying public green space and covering all of it with concrete, contributing immensely to the urban heat island effect. This is poor urban planning at its worst, and a major reason why Tucson ranks #3 in the nation for rate of temperature increase (up 4.5 degrees since 1970).
