New feature to keep kids cool this summer

Walton County District 5 Commissioner Cecilia Jones hosted a ribbon cutting May 25, 2012 for the new splash pad at Helen McCall Park. The new water feature for children will be open 7 days a week through Labor Day.

The splash pad boasts towering water shoots from the ground along with fountains and a water dumping coconut tree.

The Mission Play Park area features slides, seesaws, and other activities for children on a safe surface.  The facility includes a pavilion with restrooms, sidewalks and benches under large oak trees. It is located adjacent to the popular well-used sports fields contained in the complex.

The park is open dawn to dusk and located on Moll Drive in Santa Rosa Beach. ::MAP::
