Cleburne’s Splash Station to be closed weekly through end of summer
Cleburne’s Splash Station water park will be closed on Mondays through the end of the summer operating season. All pools will be hyper-chlorinated and the facility disinfected during that time each week. As a result of recent waterborne illness concerns Splash Station management is taking this precautionary approach to ensure patrons of the water park are protected.
Even with ongoing screening of patrons, an incident Sunday afternoon prompted Splash Station to be shut down and sanitized. The facility was then hyper-chlorinated and will now re-open Tuesday as regularly scheduled. Visitors to the park are asked to help stop the spread of waterborne disease by limiting activity if they have had diarrhea, vomiting and fever in the previous two weeks. Anyone experiencing these symptoms or other signs of disease are asked to not use any public aquatic facility.
According to Max Robertson, Cleburne’s Park and Recreation Director, “We have taken an aggressive approach to this serious matter. While the weekly closing is an inconvenience for our visitors, our number one priority is to provide a safe environment for aquatic recreational activity.” The Summer operating season runs through Labor Day weekend.
