An overflow crowd, including Jennifer Calderon, 10, top, and Gaby Meza, 10, bottom, both from Concord, turns out for the opening of Concord's Meadow Homes Spray Park, at 1351 Detroit Ave. The spray park features areas for tots, tweens and teens as well as picnic areas, and a bathhouse. Each of the three areas has a water-related theme, with dolphins and sea creatures in the tot area, a ship mast, and bow of a pirate ship in the tween area, and palm trees with dumping buckets and spray cannons in the teen area. The spray park opened June 15, and will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week until the last Sunday in September. The facility was built on the site of the former Meadow Homes pool and was funded through East Bay Regional Park District Measure WW funds, a Healthy Communities grant and Parkland Fees.
