Young people in central Illinois are likely beginning their search for summer work.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Ken Frye, Public Relations Director for the Decatur Park District, told Regional Radio they are always in need of lifeguards at the 'Splash Cove' waterpark.

Frye indicates you can apply for jobs in 'Splash Cove' or other places within the park district through the Park District website. Now is the perfect time to get that process started.

That area of Decatur has seen a lot of development in recent years, and Frye touts all the activities that are available there. He notes there are even more employment opportunities at the other attractions run by the Park District.
