Celebrating the End of Summer With a Splash at Indian Springs
Area residents cool off at the Indian Springs Metropark's "Spray N' Play" over Labor Day weekend.
Area families headed over to in White Lake Township this weekend to celebrate the end of summer with a splash.
The heat was perfect for cooling off at the "spray n' play," part of an adventure playground for kids ages 2-12.
Families from White Lake, Commerce Township, and even visitors from Apex, NC enjoyed the cool water, surprising spray action, and variety of squirting nozzles. The adventure area also includes a maze, playground equipment, rock wall, and climbing ropes - all age-appropriate.

While the splash pad closes Sept. 5, the rest of the park is open year round.
Beyond the adventure area, the park features a par-71 golf course, several miles of multi-use paths for rollerblading, cycling, walking and running.
