Splash Pads are Open for the Season!

Just in time for the summer heat wave, our city's splash pads are open! Did you know that Spokane is home to a total of 17 splash pads that provide summer fun for neighborhood kids city-wide? Best of all, these splash pads are FREE! Splash pads provide water fun and relief from the summer heat for children of all ages. Bring the kids to the park to enjoy some summer fun; don't forget the sunscreen and towel!

All 17 of our city splash pads will remain open through Sept. 14. Looking for a little more water? Area pools are scheduled to open on June 16, while pre-season swimming has already started at Witter pool.
