Slayter Creek Splash Pad Open Through Summer, Closed Mondays for Maintenance
Families looking to cool off amid this week's North Texas heat advisory can head to the splash pad at Slayter Creek Park in Anna, which the city says is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The splash pad closes each Monday for routine maintenance, according to the city. Anna operates the free, water-play area as part of its parks and recreation offerings at Slayter Creek Park, one of several city amenities aimed at giving families a low-cost alternative to backyard pools during the region's hottest months. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Collin County this week, with heat index values expected to reach into the mid-100s, and city officials say free public amenities like the splash pad see heavier use during stretches of extreme heat. As Anna's population has grown along with the rest of Collin County in recent years, the city has continued expanding its parks system to keep pace with demand for outdoor recreation space. Residents can check the city's website for updates on splash pad status, including any temporary closures for weather or maintenance.
