Pools to open for the season: Make a splash in Lexington

Everyone knows that summers get hot in Lexington, and Lexington Parks and Rec has the solution! The Washington Park Splash Pad is 4,000 square feet of awesome Splash Pad fun, with restrooms, shelters, and a playground beside it. The park also features a full size basketball court and a paved walking trail. If you would rather go swimming, check out the Lexington Aquatic Park, a competition-size swimming pool with a zero-depth entry and splash features!
