Chesterfield's first free splash pad is now open

State of play: The $3.1 million splash pad and playground are the latest additions to Beulah Park, which opened earlier this year with the region's first regulation-size cricket field, per the county.

• The park also has a half-mile walking path, new bathrooms, water fountains and a covered picnic area.

Fun fact: Henrico has six public splash pads and the city of Richmond has two, plus nine pools.

If you go: The Beulah Park splash pad is open daily, 10am-7pm.

• The park, which is on Hopkins in North Chesterfield, is open dawn till dusk.

What's next: A second public splash pad is opening in Chesterfield next summer, on the Park at River City Sportsplex.
