The Town of Parma is making a splash in 2025 – literally! The Parma Town Board has approved the installation of a state-of-the-art Sprayground at Parma Town Park, bringing a long-anticipated water play feature to the community. This exciting addition comes in response to the Town’s recent Comprehensive Plan Update, in which 25% of respondents expressed a desire for a splash pad.
Designed to be both fun and uniquely Parma, the splash pad will feature custom elements inspired by the town’s history and landscape, including a giant water tower, an apple tree representing Parma’s rich farming heritage, and nods to local waterways like Salmon Creek and Lake Ontario. In addition to classic water play structures, the Sprayground will include accessibility and sensory-focused features to ensure an inclusive experience for all.
But that’s not the only exciting news – Parma’s first-ever dog park is also set to open in 2025. Located within Parma Town Park, this one-acre, natural-setting dog park features designated areas for both large and small breeds to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all four-legged friends. The project has been partially funded by the state and Assembly Member Josh Jensen, making it a true community effort. Stay tuned for details on the official “leash-cutting” ceremony.
And if that weren’t enough, the Town of Parma has also acquired nearly 25 acres of land adjacent to the main parkland, directly south of the former property line. While plans for development are still in the works, this expansion adds valuable greenspace for exploration and future recreational opportunities.
“We are thrilled to bring these major projects to Parma in 2025,” said Tom Venniro, Director of Parks & Recreation. “From the Sprayground to the dog park to our newly acquired parkland, these additions reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing recreation and quality of life for all residents.”
