BRISTOL, Pa. - Instead of headed all the way down the shore or up to the Poconos, people in Bristol Township just head right to the spray park to cool down on hot summer days. An extra hour of splashing at the spray park would’ve been fun for families on this hot Monday night, but unfortunately, the park had to close amid staffing shortages and weekend hours could be affected next. RELATED: Lifeguard shortage: Some of Philadelphia's best lifeguards working overtime amid staffing issuesThe Bristol Township spray park has to cut its hours due to the majority of its staff leaving to go back to school. Brian Morris, director of Bristol Township Parks and Recreation says that their goal is to get someone to come help them out. "Right now we don’t have someone past August 11, so we would then go back to 10 to 4, Monday through Friday," Morris said. One of the park’s most vital members is going back to college and so far, no one has been able to replace him.
