Summer Fun
T
he Town of Godwin opened a new splash pad at the Willie J. Burnette Park May 31 with a ribbon
cutting ceremony. e park is located at 4924 Markham St., just past the Godwin Town Hall.
Splash pad hours are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 7 p.m. Splash pads
were recently opened at the Eastover, Wade and Gray's Creek community parks.
"ere was a long time when I thought this would never happen," said Godwin Mayor Willie Burnette at the
ribbon cutting. "About two months ago, this was like a lake, but Parks and Recreation hauled in dirt and put
down sod. I would like for everybody to come out and really enjoy this park because it's beautiful."
"is is a great day for the town of Godwin and
all of northern Cumberland County. Parks
and Recreation did an excellent job and it's
wonderful to see our Cumberland County
recreation dollars going toward the splash
pad addition to this park," said Cumberland
County Commissioner Glenn Adams. "It
could not have come at a better time with
temperatures near 100 degrees all this week."
e 1,500-square-foot splash pad is funded by
County recreation dollars.
