Reviews
It’s ok. It’s a very small splash pad that turns off every 30 -45 mins or so for about 15 minutes. There’s a covered picnic area, a restroom, and a playground close by. Do be aware that homeless people come here to wash themselves and sometimes smoke around the splash pad. It’s not often, but it does happen.

My family visited from out of town and had a bunch of little kids. I wanted to take them where they can play and run in the water. So I thought I’d try the splash pad and Pioneer Park. My kids are older so we’ve never been here and I was hoping it would be a good choice. The kids loved it and the Adults loved it. It was a fun family outing and the kids had a blast!!! I highly recommend it for the little ones. It also allowed us adults a chance to talk and enjoy the time together as a family. Just keep it mind it turns off often. I was a little worried we got there late and it ended, but it will turn back on in a couple of minutes after. So don’t worry it runs the times listed.

My 2 year old liked it as much as my 6 year old. It is slick so be careful! I dont love the 15 minutes off every hour especially when you show up right when that happens & it is so hot in the late afternoon! But at the same time, I kind of get why they have that….kind of. 10 minutes would be nicer. 5 minutes would be really nice. I dont think anyone needs 15 minutes of it off. It is simple but cute. Several spaces to sit, a nice ramada at one end, & a play set just beyond it. Nice grass & trees. The bathrooms are decent & close by.

It is a fun splash pad but off of a few busy roads. It was soooo crowded that the little kids kept getting run over by out of control big kids.
There is a lot of shade provided by trees on the grass, small enclosed bathrooms, and a covered pavilion with picnic tables.
