A self-activating button is just one of the improvements at Hull Park’s renovated splash pad @ 55th and Atlantic streets in Savannah.
The Hull Park splash pad renovation is part of the City of Savannah’s Recreation ReiMagined initiative geared towards raising the quality of recreational facilities while providing increased access to residents.
Before the renovation, the splash pad water was only on during certain set times and without any of the colorful aquatic devices. Now users can self-activate the water from 8AM-8PM Monday-Friday and 9AM-9PM Saturday & Sunday from April to October
Hull Park also includes a playground, athletic field, and picnic area.
The museum space is entirely outdoors, built within the former Central of Georgia Railway repair facility and adjacent to Georgia State Railroad Museum. The museum features over a dozen carefully-designed exhibits including an exploration maze, a reading nook, a sensory garden, and a nature kitchen.
