Commission approves low bid and enhancements for upcoming splash pad project

Reedsburg City Council members celebrated a significant step forward for local parks during their recent meeting on April 28, 2025. The council approved the low bid from Friti for the construction of a new splash pad, which will feature enhanced amenities for community enjoyment.

Parks and Recreation staff reported that the project is progressing well, with equipment arriving as scheduled. This timely delivery allowed for the addition of a new play or shade structure to the splash pad, along with an ADA-compliant bench and redesigned bike racks. These improvements aim to create a more inviting and accessible environment for all visitors.

Importantly, the project remains under budget, thanks to generous donations from the community. This financial cushion not only ensures the completion of the splash pad but also allows for additional enhancements that will improve the overall experience for users.

In other discussions, the Public Works committee met shortly after the Parks and Recreation report, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain and improve city infrastructure. The council's proactive approach to community projects reflects a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Reedsburg residents.

As the splash pad project moves forward, the council looks forward to its completion, which promises to provide a valuable recreational resource for families and visitors alike.
