Paris, Tenn.–Even with the oppressive heat, workers have been hard at it at the site of the new Splash Pad at Eiffel Tower Park in Paris. Paris Parks and Recreation Director Tony Lawrence said, “They’re aiming for mid-August at this point” for completion of the Splash Pad. Currently, several local contractors and work crews, including employees from the Paris Parks and Public Works Departments, have been at work on the project. The Splash Pad will include multiple water features –including one that looks like the Eiffel Tower– and pavilions. (Shannon McFarlin photo).
