MCQUILLAN PARK IMPROVEMENTS City of Rochester Parks & Recreation Department is seeking community feedback on forthcoming splash pad and improvements at McQuillan Park
T he City of Rochester Parks & Recreation Department is seeking feedback from the community on a planned splash pad and other potential improvements at McQuillan Park, located on the former Longfellow Elementary School site. The community is encouraged to provide feedback via a digital Polco survey, which will close on March 21, 2023. Two virtual open house events will take place on March 22, 2023 and held via Teams. The first will be from Noon-1:00p.m. and the second will take place from 6:00-7:00 p.m. There will also be an in-person Open House on March 28 at Longfellow Elementary School (2435 20th St. SE) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. The McQuillan Park splash pad project will be located at the former Longfellow Elementary School
site and will be the City of Rochester’s second stand-alone aquatics feature of this type. The splash pad will be between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet and will contain a number of water play elements. Accompanying amenities will include accessible sidewalks, a restroom facility, benches and shade elements. The current budget for the project is $615,000 and will be funded largely by the City of Rochester park referendum, approved by voters in 2020. The Parks & Recreation Department is seeking input on both the splash pad features and any facilities which may be desirable to the community should the grant be secured. Construction of the improvements will likely start in the spring of 2024, with the opening of the splash pad in 2025.
