SPLASH DAY !
Family Water Fun
June 28, 11 AM
Water Park in Bohrer Park

Everyone is invited for a great day of water fun at the Water Park in Bohrer Park. The park is located at 512 S Frederick Ave (Rt 355) in Gaithersburg. Besides the main pool having a zero-depth entry, making it accessible to all – there is also a kiddie pool. One of the major attractions at The Water Park is the double water slide that is 250 feet long and twists and turns into the pool. There is also a mini-golf course next to the water park if you want to try your putting skills.

There is food and snacks available at the pool, but you can also bring your own cooler (no glass please). There is plenty of shade to get out of the sun as well as plenty of sunny spots to work on that tan.

A day pass for children and youth (1-17) is $5, adults $6.75 and Seniors (55+) is $5.50. The price is even less if you are a resident of Gaithersburg. There is also a Putt-n-Pool pass for $8.50 that includes a game of mini-golf.

Look for Pastor Lewis at one of the picnic tables to the right of the slides, if he is not already going down the slides. Also, if you have any questions, Contact Pastor Lewis.
