Picture Detroit Ave. in Lakewood as one giant sprinkler park. Cool, eh? A portion of Detroit Ave will have hoses spraying water all over the place @ the Lakewood StreetWalk on Sat 7/23. And check out this cool contraption — the Water Moose, made by Lkwd resident Michael Gill. It transforms one fire hydrant into a full-on sprinkler park.
From Michael: “We connected the pipes to the fire hydrant. We hooked up pipes to the hoses, and the hoses to the sprinklers. And we opened up a couple of two–inch, full-port ball valves. I am not going to tell you anything more about the experience, except to say that running a fire hydrant’s worth of water through lawn sprinklers can have a stimulating effect on a summer afternoon. You have got to see this for yourself.”
