Well, sort of.

This morning (July 15) the City of Wayland Fire Department announced they're bringing yet another splash pad pop-up to local neighborhoods-- much to the delight of families and neighbors!

It's going to be another hot day and the Wayland Fire Department will be out again with a few more pop-up splash pads to help keep the kids cool -- City of Wayland Fire Department via Facebook

On Wednesday, July 15 residents will have a chance to cool off at either Voyager Ct. at 2:00 p.m. or Windsor Woods Community Center at 3:00 p.m., with each stop expected to last about 15-20 minutes.

Note: Pop-ups may be cancelled at the last minute due to emergency calls.

It's a win-win for kids-- get the chance to cool off in the splash pad while also seeing a fire truck up close. Sounds like a fun reason to put those tax dollars to good use. The only thing that could make it better would be a stop at Culver's for frozen custard on the way home.

The fire department also adds that these local neighborhood pop-ups are a great time to inquire about their free smoke and carbon monoxide alarm program. Crews can even schedule a time to come visit and install them for you!
