Marble Falls Parks and Recreation is teaming up with Marble Falls Fire Rescue to provide pop up splash pads at city parks in July. 

Marble Falls firefighters will pull up at 11 a.m. on July 15 to Westside Park, 1610 2nd Street, and then at 11 a.m. on July 29 at Lakeside Park. The department’s Fire Engine 1 will extend its ladder and pump out a temporary shower at each of the parks for about an hour. 

“It’s like having a big heavy rainfall in a centralized area where the kids can just play and have some fun,” MFFR Captain Rowan Arnold told DailyTrib.
