The Issue

As a mother of young kids in Fort Worth, I know firsthand the struggle of finding suitable outdoor recreational activities for my boys, especially during the sweltering summer months. Countless moms, including myself, often find ourselves leaving our beloved city, traveling to neighboring areas, just to find splash pads where our little ones can safely play and cool off. Fort Worth, a city that prides itself on community and growth, has fallen short on this front, offering limited options for families seeking free and engaging outdoor activities.

By installing several splash pads across Fort Worth, we can offer accessible, safe, and fun places for our children to play. Splash pads are not just about play; they are vital resources during the dangerous summer heat. They provide families with a free way to enjoy the outdoors and encourage physical activity, especially for toddlers and children who may not yet be able to swim. Unlike overcrowded pools or expensive options like country clubs, splash pads offer an inclusive environment for all.

The benefits of splash pads extend beyond just cooling off. They serve as vibrant community spaces where families can gather, socialize, and foster connections. Additionally, the installation of splash pads would enhance the quality of life for many residents, making Fort Worth an even more attractive place for families to live and visit.

Let's create a city where all children have the opportunity to play safely and families can enjoy days out without financial strain. Urge city officials to prioritize the health, well-being, and happiness of its younger residents and their families by installing these essential amenities.

Sign this petition to support the installation of three new splash pads in Fort Worth. Together, we can make a splash in our community by advocating for accessible and essential recreational spaces for our children.
