ELMIRA, NY (WENY) -- Eldridge Park in Elmira opened a brand new splash pad earlier this summer, and now the park will hold a dedication ceremony this weekend.

The splashpad has been named the John T. Gough Memorial Splash pad, after it was donated and built in memory of John Gough by family members.

A dedication ceremony will be held at Eldridge Park on Sunday, August 27th at 2PM. Additionally, Sunday is the City of Elmira Employee Appreciate Day at the park. 

The splash pad is free, and open to the public every day from noon until 8PM.
