OAK CREEK, WI — The splash pad located at Drexel Town Square, only days after it reopened, has been closed again for repairs, according to a Facebook post from the City of Oak Creek.

Oak Creek announced Tuesday that the splash pad is closed again for repairs, but it should only be down for a day or so, the post said. The splash pad was reopened over Memorial Day weekend this year after the city had turned it off all of last summer due to pandemic concerns.
