Splash pad to be dedicated

Hillsboro’s splash pad will be dedicated at noon Friday in honor of former city administrator Larry Paine.

The event will include a hotdog cookout. Marion County Parents as Teachers will sponsor kids’ games and offer splash pad packs to parents.

Paine helped lead the project from when it started until his retirement.

“Without his efforts it would not have come to be,” city administrator Matt Stiles said.

The splash pad is at Washington and A Sts.
