The sound of children’s laughter may fill the air again in one corner of Milstead when a “splash pad” and park reopens where the Milstead pool once stood. The Milstead pool was shut down back in 2009 when it became clear that federally mandated upgrades to the pool’s drainage system would be too costly to warrant the continuing of the pool operations. After several town hall-style meetings and proposals, a park with a “splash pad” and a small walking path was designed.
