The Splash Pads are OPEN!  Okay, we got a little excited, but we love that kids of all ages can enjoy the city’s Splash Pad facilities.  At these awesome (and free) water play areas, kids can run around to their heart’s content, splash, play, and cool down.  The Splash Pads are open from May 1 – October 31, 2023, from 9 am – 8 pm.

For more info and updates, including which swimming pools are open, visit the City of Austin’s Aquatic Department website.
