Founded by parents Brent and Talia Turner in memory of their son to support positive impacts on children’s lives in Frederick County.

The Simon Turner Memorial Fund will be used to support the Splash PoinT at Baker Park. This project was inspired by a heartfelt desire to create a safe, welcoming space for everyone to enjoy the water. This project pays tribute to Simon, a special little boy who was captivated by water play. Before his untimely passing in March 2019, Simon was drawn to the creek and the 7th Street Fountain, but these beloved spots weren’t designed for children to safely enjoy the water.

Brent and Talia Turner wanted to honor their son’s memory by adding a meaningful feature to Baker Park—one that would allow families to interact with water, laugh, connect, and create lasting memories. The name ‘The Splash PoinT’ serves as a tribute, with the capital ‘S’ representing Simon and the capital ‘T’ standing for his last name, forever celebrating his joyous spirit and love for playful water experiences in this community space.

The Splash PoinT at Baker Park will be a vibrant and interactive splash pad located in the heart of The City of Frederick, designed to serve as a welcoming and inclusive space for residents and visitors alike.
