New splash pad now open in Marrero

If you go: The new splash pad is full fenced, so kids 12 and under can roam about 10 different water features.

• It'll be open from 10am to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays this month.
• There are also three covered pavilions and a playground at the same facility.

The big picture: This splash pad is the second for Jefferson Parish's West Bank. Parc Des Familles has the other.

• As for New Orleans, there's no public splash pad — yet. One is due to open as part of the new Morris FX Jeff Natatorium.
• That facility was supposed to open earlier this summer, but construction delays pushed the expected ribbon-cutting back to early November, a spokesperson with Mayor LaToya Cantrell's office tells Axios New Orleans.

• 13 public pools in New Orleans
• 5 splash pads to check out in the New Orleans metro
• 12 hotel pools to dive into in New Orleans
