Paris, Tenn.–Paris city employees were testing the water features at the Eiffel Tower Splash Park Thursday to make the new Splash Pad ready for its official opening next week. The Splash Park features a number of water attractions, including a miniature Eiffel Tower with water slides, buckets that fill with water to splash on peoples’ heads and a large water tank inscribed with the city of Paris logo that also splashes water. Comfortable and colorful deck chairs have been placed around the Splash Park. The deck furniture is from 54 Lawn and Garden and the pavilion furniture is thanks to the Athena Delphian Club. The official opening of the Splash Park is set for 10 a.m. Wednesday, September 16. (Shannon McFarlin photos).
