Speak Up: Splash pad at Laurel’s Trap Pond may be in works
Posted
The potential for a splash park looms at Trap Pond State Park, a hot spot that’s home to the northernmost naturally occurring stand of baldcypress trees. One of the goals of Trap Pond’s master plan is to grow the park, located several miles east of Laurel, into the largest state park over the next decades.
- There needs to be a roundabout put in there. — Charlie Harper
- This should be, and I repeat, for locals only. No out-of-state tourists. — Amanda Brumbley
- That’s not how capitalism works. State parks still need to make money; therefore, tourists should be welcomed. — Linda Marshall
- Delaware is being taken over by tourists. — Amanda Brumbley
- Tourists create money. They help support our state. — Linda Marshall
- By making it so crowded and traffic so bad, it’s gonna eventually push all the people that have lived here their whole lives out. — Amanda Brumbley
- As a Sussex County resident with three kids, yes, please! We need splash pads! There are so many free splash pads in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, (that can have snow from October to May) that they have a dedicated website! There’s at least a basic splash pad 15 miles from each other. — Heather Donohue
- Please, no! We live near there, and the traffic is bad enough as it is. Couldn’t imagine fighting it to get to local grocery stores. I wish everyone would think of long-term consequences! — Vonnie Currie Plump
