On Thursday, the town of Arcadia welcomed hundreds of people anxious to enjoy the new splash pad in the heart of downtown at 126 W. Main St. American competitive Olympic diver Tyler Downs was on hand to cut the ribbon for Splash on Main as some of the park’s sponsors looked on. As expected, Splash on Main was an instant hit with kids on a hot summer evening.
First announced in 2020, the splash pad was paid for in part with donations from generous community members and sponsors, and a matching grant of $20,000 was provided by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority.
