“Fun fact… all fountains are designed to be water conscious. To start the water fountains at a splash pad, the activator button on site must be pushed,” says Wichita Park & Recreation.
Splash pads are open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. No admission fee is required to enter the city’s splash pads. Children and adults are encouraged to play, but no pets are allowed.
Wichita Park & Recreation recommends the following guidelines and rules:
Do not drink the water
If ill, do not visit a splash pad
Children in diapers should wear leakproof pull-ups
