The Worthen Park Splash Pad has been going great!!! However, we do want to address a few issues we are running into.

1. Any person visiting the splash pad under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
(For example: a 14 year old cannot come alone with an 8 year old.)

2. Proper swim suits are required by Illinois Bather Code.
The following are NOT swimsuits:
-athletic shorts
-cotton T-shirts
-cotton shorts
-jeans
-spandex shorts/ sport bras

Thank you for your time and understanding!
