I spoke with someone from the parks department this morning (6/5/2014.) He said that the water play area is complete, but they are working on finalizing permits and inspection! The plan is that the splah area should be open... within the next 30 days! Stay tuned for more details!
A little further away, but worth the drive...
Park amenities include the Great Lawn with flexible perimeter seating to accommodate a wide range of programming and performances, a dog run, a kiosk with restrooms, and a Pavilion building with restrooms, park offices, and space for a future vendor. There are also two interactive fountains: the Louver fountain is located on the east side of the park along Ashley Drive and the Mist Fountain is located on the west side the park along the Riverwalk.
