Installation of the Splashplex at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex is officially completed. The splash pad feature has been on Alexander City Parks and Recreation director Sonny Wilson’s wish list for seven years and it has finally come to fruition.

Summer just got better for kids all over Tallapoosa County, as an Ohio company finished installing the long-waited splash pad at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex this week. 

The Splashplex is projected to open for use May 26 and includes fountains and bucket drops for kids and a shade pavilion for parents and grandparents. Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department director Sonny Wilson said sod will be laid this week and a fence will be installed before the Splashplex will officially open.
