Council discusses splash-pad rules after reports of unsanitary toddler diapers and unsafe parking
Summary
Council members reviewed existing splash-pad rules and suggested requiring toddlers to wear swim diapers after staff found used diapers in trash; they also discussed vehicles parking inside the splash-pad gate at recent markets and asked staff to circulate formal rules to vendors and volunteers.
Council members discussed safety and hygiene at the town splash pad after staff reported finding used swim diapers in trash and seeing vehicles parked near playground structures at recent markets.
One council member recommended requiring toddlers to wear swim diapers, saying instances of noncompliance were "about as unsanitary as you can get." Another speaker said they will circulate the Chill Howie splash-pad rules to staff and volunteers so expectations are clear.
Members also flagged parking and vehicle access concerns after witnesses reported cars driving between picnic tables and the splash-pad/playground area; staff said they have signage information and will follow up with the manager who ordered the signs.
