Good News! One Of Rochester's Water Attractions Announces Reopening Date After Vandalism

According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the average temperatures for Southeast Minnesota during the summer months are in the mid-80s.  There will be days when you feel the heaviness in the air and wonder if it can get any muggier.

While we don't have cars with vinyl seats anywhere where we stick to the seats, the super humid days will make you feel like you are melting.  And when those days hit, nothing feels better than jumping in a pool or cooling off thanks to some cold water splashing on you.

One of Rochester's newer spots that offers a great way to cool off was sadly vandalized recently, causing opening day to be delayed.  Thanks to the hard work of many, a reopening date has been announced for the Lincolnshire Splash Pad.  Here's the latest from the City of Rochester:

We’re excited to share that the damaged activator at the Lincolnshire Splash Pad has been replaced and the pad is now ready for visitors, just in time for the warm weather!
