Splash Park at City Park (CLOSED for 2022 season)
This free, interactive water entertainment area features dumping water buckets, spray nozzles, fountains, and water spouts. The surface is level so all can participate.
The area features a covered pavilion with picnic tables, bathroom facilities, a large playground, and benches. Children may choose to wear rubber-soled swim shoes for easy transition between the two play areas.
The water feature is on a timer so please wait a few moments if it is not in operation upon your arrival, or activate the features using the switch located on the wall.
Children should be supervised to ensure their safety.
