Fry & Associates, a North Kansas City-based park and playground equipment company, and the City of Fulton are nearing the completion of the splash pad project at Memorial Park. Workers with Fry & Associates and its president, Jack Fry, were on site Wednesday testing the water pressure and making other final adjustments. Clay Caswell, Fulton's Parks and Recreation Director, told the Fulton City Council that he hopes the splash pad will be open this weekend. If so, here are the rules and regulations for using the newest attraction to Fulton.
