Sisters Andi Lee and Wendy Zent of the Wilson family were presented with the May 2022 Shining Star Award Thursday by Fulton County Chamber members. The award reflected their hardwork and dedication of making Rochester's dreams of having a splashpad come to life. 

 

 

Zent credited the idea of the splashpad to her granddaughter, who was happy to have gotten her request. 

 

 

The sisters, who recognized a need in Rochester for more kid-friendly activities, did the research and got the resources to do the project in time for its official opening Memorial Day.

 

The Rochester City Park Splash Pad will be open from 10am to 8pm daily, Memorial Day through Labor Day.  

 

 

The splashpad is still not complete. They eventually plan on installing a fence and picnic tables for the area. Anyone wishing to donate to the project can do so through FEDCO.  All checks should have 'Splash Pad' in the memo line. Contributions are tax deductable.
