The city of Roseville broke ground on a new splash pad at Rotary Park, but some residents worry the location could put children at risk due to its proximity to a busy road.
The splash pad will be located at the southeast end of Rotary Park, which sits at the corner of Eastland and Utica roads. Utica Road sees heavy traffic and has been the site of crashes in the past.
