UPDATE: The Wilder splash pad has reopened as of Friday, Aug. 23, according to a social media update from the city.
Wilder announced via Facebook on Aug. 22 that its splash pad would be closed due to the outbreak of Crypotosporidium, a fecal borne parasite that has also effected other pool facilities in the region.
The Northern Kentucky Health Department issued a public health advisory last week after detecting an outbreak of parasite, which is often shortened simply to Crypto.
Silverlake water park in Erlanger and the Bluegrass Swim Club in Fort Wright have also confirmed cases of Crypto.
The Wilder splash pad is located at City Center Park at 520 Licking Pike.
