Here’s why a Pleasant Grove splash pad closed shortly after opening

PLEASANT GROVE (ABC4) — A new splash pad was unveiled in Pleasant Grove City over the weekend, but now the city announced it will be closed until further notice.

On Saturday, a grand opening was held for Cook Family Park, featuring its splash pad, an all-abilities playground, a skate park, basketball courts, and more.

In an online announcement Sunday night, Pleasant Grove City wrote that the new splash pad received a few reports of people slipping, causing its closure.

“With safety as our number one priority, we will be closing it immediately as the contractors will be applying additional treatment to the surface area to prevent further issues. We apologize for any inconvenience and aim to maintain a safe environment,” the city wrote.
