🌊 Dive into summer fun because the Interactive Water Feature is BACK in action at the Rose District! 💦 Here are some FAQs to keep your splashing adventures smooth sailing:

❓ **What time does the feature turn on?**
💧 The feature kicks off daily at 9 am. During the summer season (Memorial Day to Labor Day), it's a watery wonderland until 11 pm. While school's in session, catch the waves until 10 pm!

❓ **Why has it shut off?**
💧 Safety first! If the feature suddenly stops, it might be due to our emergency stop button. It's there to keep everyone safe. Debris sneaking into the system can also be a culprit, so let's keep it clean, folks!

❓ **Splash pad vs. Interactive water feature?**
💧 Here's the scoop: Unlike typical splash pads, our interactive feature recirculates water. That means the fun keeps flowing without constant freshwater pumping. Just a heads-up, the recycled water is safe for splashing, but not for sipping!

Get ready to make a splash and create some unforgettable summer memories at the Rose District! 🌹💦
