The Splash Pad at Melrose Park, seen June 16 as it nears completion, is set to open July 1.
With summer in full swing, Chelsea now has a new place to beat the heat.
The Splash Pad at Melrose Park recently was scheduled to open July 1, but the opening date has been pushed back due to delays. The splash pad is the most recent addition to Melsorse Park, located next to the playground behind the Chelsea Community Center.
Construction on the project began in the fall of 2020 and was initially planned to be completed by Memorial Day, but the timeline had to be extended due to weather events and construction delays.
