Spencer, IA (KICD)– The City of Spencer has begun some exploratory work on potentially bringing a splash pad to town.

City Manager Dan Gifford noted at Monday’s City Council meeting that the process really starts with finding an engineer to come up with a plan.

Mayor Steve Bomgaars added to the brief conversation during his regular report by noting what believes is a need for such an amenity in Spencer.

The possible splash pad idea has been looked into for several years as part of an overall WOW project idea that could ultimately move the city owned campground south of the Aquatic Center while also making some improvements to the pool area.
