Parkland Ambulance officials said if it wasn’t for the lifeguards’ quick response, this event would not have been a success.
City officials are reminding people about Kinsmen Water Park’s adult supervision policy which states children aged eight to 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
The water park was closed Aug. 2 in order to complete an investigation and properly debrief staff.
