The city of Ashland is moving forward with its plan to build a new splash pad at Central Railyard Park. TheDailyPress reports the Ashland City Council voted unanimously to build the park after the Rotary changed the location from Bayview Park at the city’s request. If the park has been built at Bayview Park, water costs would have significant. The splash pad at the new location will be fed from a well, rather than city water. Having the pad at Central Railyard Park also aligns better with future plans for the city. So far, the Ashland Rotary has collected the $300,000 needed to cover the splash pad and the well, so cost to the city will be marginal. The splash pad will honor the late owners of Ashland’s music store, the Vivians and their commitment to kids. The Vivians left a generous donation with the request that it be spent on a project to benefit the community. Ground breaking will be sometime this year, with the first step being installation of the well, followed by site prep.
