Just in time for the long weekend, kids can have fun and stay cool at City of London spray pads. This Friday, May 21, ten of the City's outdoor spray pads will officially open for the season.
"The spray pads are a safe way for children to keep cool and play outside on warm days," says Lynn Loubert, Manager of Aquatic Services.
"The spray pads are activated by a push of a button and the water rotates between the different water play features."
