Wichita Park & Recreation says they are working to get the remaining six locations opened for the summer. All splash pad locations will be open by Monday, May 29.
“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.
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
