Suwanee Big Splash Fountain To Open April 2

A reservations system for daycare groups is being implemented in 2012.

A rite of spring in Suwanee: The popular Big Splash interactive fountain in Town Center Park will reopen on Monday, April 2, just in time for spring break for students, according to the city's Facebook page.

This year, the city is implementing a reservation system for fountain use for daycare operations. Organized visitations can often cause a human crunch with individual parents or caretakers who bring children to the park.
