This week we met with Lori (and family) at our favorite local coffee shop (taproom) and it was awesome! Lori is the visionary behind COAN Splash! - a non-profit raising money for a fully accessible splash pad for the East Side Community. She has been a part of the east side community for over 10 years and loves it.

Over the years, she has seen a need for a summer activity that is free, accessible, and inviting to the entire community. This is when the idea for Coan Splash! was born.

The vision is to create a splash pad in Coan park - free of charge and accessible to everyone. The idea has really grown in the last few years and continues to gain traction with the community.

One of the most amazing things about Coan Splash! is that it is completely volunteer run. Everyone on the team volunteers their time on top of their full time jobs - wow!

We really can not wait to see how Coan Splash grows and develops over the coming months! Make sure to read more about what they are doing and how to get involved here.
