TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The City of Troy opened its splash pads on Tuesday. The splash pads are open from sunrise to sunset with the exception of Riverfront Park. The areas are free to use.
People are required to follow social distancing guidelines and avoid gatherings of 25 people or more. The splash pads will not be monitored and it will be up to residents to police themselves. Masks are required but the city asks that people not wear a mask while in the water as cloth masks can cause breathing issues when wet.

Your cooperation is important for protecting the health of our community,” said Mayor Patrick Madden.
