Splash file Web — In this Herald file photo from 2010, the Splash in the Boro water park is shown from the top of the Mat Racer slide. Visitors to the Mill Creek Park attraction are streaming in during the 2011 season at a slightly slower pavce than 2010's record year.

The hot, dry weather for the past two months has helped keep the slides busy and the pools full at Splash in Boro this summer, though attendance is a bit off last year's record pace. Steve Brown, Aquatics Division manager at Splash, said as of July 4 the water park was slightly behind its 2010 mark of 76,783 total ticket sales with roughly 73,000 people coming to the park by Independence Day 2011. "We have had a great summer so far," Brown said.
