TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  – A four-year project is now complete and open to the community.

Fund-raising for a splash pad at the Booker T. Washington Community Center started in 2015, and construction started a year later and now it is complete.

On Wednesday, the ribbon was cut on the new water feature that is free and open to the public.

Total value of the project is close to $100,000. Nearly half of that was donated.

Benches and other amenities will be added in the future.

The community center is located at 13th and College Streets in Terre Haute.

Mayor Duke Bennett says the city hopes to replicate this splash pad in other parks throughout Terre Haute.
