PITTSBURGH — The city of Pittsburgh opened a new spray park and playground on Saturday, just in time for summer -- but it came with controversy.
The spray park at Paulson Playground in Lincoln-Lemington is the eighth in the city.
Protesters disrupted the grand opening, confronting Mayor Bill Peduto and Councilman Ricky Burgess, who's up for reelection.
Peduto and Burgess responded, saying the protesters have a right to express themselves and they are listening.
"It's just a political stunt that's been hosted by the city, three days from the election and they're opening a city spray park, that they moved up the opening," said Kierran Young, a protester said.
