Gambrel’s Wet & Wild Summer Splash Off

There was some significant political speech making today but it not get in the way of the kids having a good time.  The community residents celebrated the grand Opening of Gambrel’s brand new Playground and Spray Park at the Gambrel recreation center at 1900 Wakeling Street (map).

My father used to take me on walks through this little park back in the 40s so I have an attachment to it even now.  It has never looked better.  Have a look at our flickr slide show to see all the pictures.

This was the ribbon cutting and official turn on of the water.
