The City Council has awarded a contract to TK Construction of Pella, Iowa, to build a new splash pad at Daley Park, 340 Wilder Blvd.

The splash pad will include more than 30 interactive water features, along with outdoor showers, shade structures, and bench seating. The water play equipment will be provided by Commercial Recreation Specialists, based in Verona, Wisconsin.

Construction is scheduled to begin in September, weather permitting, with the splash pad expected to open in June 2026.

The Parks and Recreation Maintenance Facility Expansion Project, located at 700 E. 13th St., is designed to consolidate park maintenance staff and equipment into one location to improve efficiency and effectiveness. SVPA Architects of Des Moines, Iowa, was hired to provide design services, bidding assistance and construction administration.

The project includes four main components: renovation of the existing Park Maintenance Building, construction of additional parking, a cold storage building, and relocation of the bulk water station.
