SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The watery fun is on hold in this heat at a local park. Lackawanna County announced on its Facebook page that the McDade Park Splash Pad is temporarily closed.
The reason: An issue with the water pump.
There is no word on how soon the problem will be fixed.

The swimming pool at McDade Park is also closed.
Its planned opening last month was delayed because of several leaks, and its opening this summer is very much in doubt.
