To maintain a safe and clean environment for all guests, the splash pad enforces several important rules.

Visitors should avoid running, rough play, or climbing on water features, and should refrain from using soaps, shampoos, or bubble solutions. Water balloons, pets, bicycles, and skateboards are not allowed on the splash pad.

It is important that visitors do not drink the splash pad water and avoid using the facility if they have cuts, sores, or skin irritations. During stormy weather, the facility must be evacuated immediately for safety reasons. By following these guidelines, families can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone using this wonderful community resource during the splash pad season.
