WET MARKS THE SPOT

Our town recently put in a small water park for kids.

There are water tunnels to run through, alternating streams that jet from the ground, and nozzles a child can cover to increase the water pressure of other nozzles nearby.

It's pretty amazing for a city of 12,000 people.

The best feature is the dumping buckets.About 15 feet overhead three large buckets on a pole slowly fill with water. Built on hinges, when the water gets heavy enough ... sploosh ... maybe two gallons gets dumped on one spot....
