Thursday evening will be a busy one around the Sheridan Center Open Air Pavilion in Heritage Park. First, at 6 p.m., there will be an official dedication of the new Jeffrey Lamarand Splash Field. That will be followed by a special Taylor on Watch session in the Activities Building south of the Sheridan Center (due to work being done inside the pavilion).
The all-new splash pad is located in Heritage Park, adjacent to the Sheridan Center Open Air Pavilion. The baseball-diamond-modeled facility is right off of the Sheridan patio area, between the center and the Activity Building. There is ample parking in the main Sheridan Center lot off Pardee Road.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 26. The event is open to the public, but the splash pad will not be operational until Saturday. Do not plan on being able to use it during the ribbon-cutting event. The official Opening Day for the splash pad will come at noon Saturday (May 28). The first 200 children will be admitted for free with hot dogs, chips and refreshments provided.
The Taylor on Watch meeting will be held inside the Activities Building at 7 p.m. Thursday, directly after the splash pad dedication.
Taylor Police and member of Taylor on Watch ask residents to please come and learn crime prevention tips for your home, your family and your neighborhood. You can also learn about becoming a participant in your area's neighborhood watch group.
This is a great night for families in Taylor to attend the splash pad dedication and get a up-close and personal view of the new facility, followed directly by a Taylor on Watch presentation -- two events for one (free) price!
