Cooling Off in Montana

There are a few ways to stay cool in Montana.

The summer heat is finally here, and folks will look everywhere for a place to cool off. Most locals will head to Montana's rivers or lakes to relax and feel refreshed.

There's nothing better than floating in the Gallatin River or swimming in Flathead Lake during the summer.

What else can you do if you don't live near these spots?

A few cities have community pools and waterparks, like Big Sky Waterpark, but Montana has seen a rise in a perk that families love.

We are talking about splash pads.

Splash pads have become very popular in Montana. Many cities have installed splash pads so families can have a safe and nearby place for their kids to have fun and cool off.

There are splash pads across Montana, including cities like Anaconda, Butte, and Belgrade.

Bozeman wants in on the fun.

KBZK reports that the City of Bozeman has broken ground on a new splash pad for Story Mill Park.

The splash pad was in the designs for Story Mill Park, but it took years to obtain funding.

Locals have wondered when Bozeman would finally get a splash pad. Many folks don't have the time to drive to the Gallatin River during the week, and the community pools can get crowded fast.

This splash pad will be a safe and fun spot for kids to enjoy with friends or family.

The splash pad could finish its construction by the end of the summer.
