With the arrival of warmer days and spring just weeks away, we know you’re ready for the fun and exhilaration of experiencing one of the City of College Station’s two splash pads.
Are you ready for more good news?
Our invigorating splash pads are open for the season!
The Fun for All Playground splash pad at Stephen C. Beachy Central Park is open daily from 8 a.m.-9 p.m. through Oct. 31. The covered, wheelchair-accessible pad has tipping buckets, a weeping water shower, and directional spray areas.
The W.A. Tarrow Splash Pad next to the Lincoln Recreation Center is open daily from 8 a.m.-9 p.m. through Aug. 31 and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. from Sept. 1-Oct. 31. It also has tipping buckets and directional spray areas.
But before you slip on your swimsuit and lather up with sunscreen, look over our rules. And remember – no lifeguards are on duty, so you must supervise your children.
